Name the series of hydrogen spectrum which lies in iv region
Answers
The emission spectrum of atomic hydrogen has been divided into a number of spectral series, with wavelengths given by the Rydberg formula. These observed spectral lines are due to the electron making transitions between two energy levels in an atom. The classification of the series by the Rydberg formula was important in the development of quantum mechanics. The spectral series are important in astronomical spectroscopy for detecting the presence of hydrogen and calculating red shifts.
The four other spectral line series, in addition to the Balmer series, are named after their discoverers, Theodore Lyman, A.H. Pfund, and F.S. Brackett of the United States and Friedrich Paschen of Germany. The Lyman series lies in the ultraviolet, whereas the Paschen, Brackett, and Pfund series lie in the infrared.
