Which of the following spectral lines series lies in the visible Region?
Correct answer: B. Balmer series
- A. Lyman series
- B. Balmer series
- C. Pfund series
- D. Brackett series
Explanation
The Balmer series is a series of spectral lines in the hydrogen atom spectrum that lies in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum, with wavelengths between 400-700 nanometers (nm). This series corresponds to electron transitions from higher energy levels (n ≥ 3) to the second energy level (n = 2).

About Atomic Structure
Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
