Question

Which series of hydrogen spectrum lies in the ultraviolet region?

RankGuru · Accepted Answer

Hydrogen spectral series depend on the ground state $n_1$:
- **Lyman Series ($n_1 = 1$)**: Transitions produce high-energy photons located in the **Ultraviolet (UV)** region.
- **Balmer Series ($n_1 = 2$)**: Transitions produce photons in the **Visible** region.
- **Paschen Series ($n_1 = 3$)**: Transitions produce photons in the **Near-Infrared** region.
- **Brackett ($n_1 = 4$)** and **Pfund ($n_1 = 5$)**: Infrared region.
