Balmer series lies in that region of electromagnetic wave spectrum, which is known as:

Correct answer: A. Visible region

  • A. Visible region
  • B. Invisible region
  • C. Ultraviolet region
  • D. Infra-red region

Explanation

The Balmer series finds its home in the visible region of the electromagnetic wave spectrum. This region corresponds to wavelengths that are visible to the human eye, showcasing the colorful transitions in hydrogen atoms. It's like a vibrant display of light wavelengths that we can perceive visually, making the Balmer series a fascinating subject in the spectrum of electromagnetic waves.

About Spectrum of Hydrogen

The hydrogen spectrum consists of discrete emission lines produced when electrons fall between quantised energy levels and release photons. Questions use the Rydberg equation, photon energy and wavelength, and identify the Lyman, Balmer, Paschen, Brackett and Pfund series, which differ from continuous spectra.
