The radiations of which spectral series are more energetic than others?
Correct answer: A. Lyman series
- A. Lyman series
- B. Paschen series
- C. Pfund series
- D. Brackett series
Explanation
Lyman series lies in ultra violet region.Balmer series lies in visible region.Paschen series lies in infra red region.Brackett series lies in infra red region.Pfund series lies in infra red region.

About Atomic Spectra
Atoms emit or absorb light at specific wavelengths because electrons occupy quantized energy levels and change levels by absorbing or releasing photons. The topic covers emission and absorption spectra, spectral series, hydrogen’s line spectrum, energy-level transitions, and the relation between wavelength, frequency and photon energy.
