Balmer series was identified in:
Correct answer: D. 1885
- A. 1685
- B. 1785
- C. 1985
- D. 1885
Explanation
The Balmer series was actually identified in 1885. It was a significant milestone in understanding the spectrum of hydrogen, shedding light on the visible light wavelengths emitted by hydrogen atoms.

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.
