Some energy is absorbed by hydrogen atom due to which an electron in it jumped from ground state tothe state having principle quantum number 5 and again. Jumped back to the original level. What type of spectrum is observed and in which region .what is the name of this series?

Answer:

The observed spectrum in this scenario is an emission line spectrum. And the name of series is Balmer Series.

Explanation:

The observed spectrum in this scenario is an emission line spectrum. The electron in a hydrogen atom enters an excited state when it takes in energy and moves to a higher energy level, in this case from the ground state to the state with principal quantum number 5. The electron eventually returns to its initial level, releasing energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, but this excited state is unstable.

As the electron moves back to its ground state, certain wavelengths or frequencies of radiation are released that are indicative of the energy difference between the excited state and the ground state. A spectrum of this radiation's emissions is created.

When an electron in the hydrogen atom jumps from an excited state to the ground state with principal quantum number 5, it belongs to the Balmer series. The set of spectral lines produced by electron transitions involving the second energy level (n = 2) and higher energy levels is referred to as the Balmer series. The Balmer series wavelengths are primarily found in the 400–700 nanometer range of the visible spectrum.
