Question

When an electron does transition from n = 4 to n = 2, then emitted line spectrum will be (A) first line of Lyman series (B) second line of Balmer series (C) first line of Paschen series (D) second line of Paschen series.

Jump to second orbit leads to Balmer series. The jump from 4 textth orbit shall give rise to second line of Balmer series.

Q. When an electron does transition from $n = 4$ to $n = 2$ , then emitted line spectrum will be

first line of Lyman series

second line of Balmer series

first line of Paschen series

second line of Paschen series.

Jump to second orbit leads to Balmer series.
The jump from $4^{th}$ orbit shall give rise to second line of Balmer series.
