Question

Which of the following spectral series in hydrogen atom give spectral line of $4860\stackrel{o}{A}$ ?

• A. Brackett
• B. Paschen
• C. Lyman
• D. Balmer

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

The spectral line of wavelength $4860\stackrel{o}{A}$ lies in the visible region. Since Balmer series lies in the visible region of the spectrum. Therefore, Balmer series gives spectral line of $4860\stackrel{o}{A}$ .
