Question

What is hydrogen spectrum?

Answer 1

The emission spectrum of atomic hydrogen is divided into a number of spectralseries, with wavelengths given by the Rydberg formula. These observed spectrallines are due to the electron making transitions between two energy levels in the atom

Answer 2

Explanation:

Hydrogen spectrum consists of spectral lines classified as five spectral series of hydrogen atom. Out of these five, Lyman series lies in the ultraviolet region of spectrum, Balmer series lies in the visible region and the remaining three series, lie in the infrared region of spectrum.

The 5 spectral series of hydrogen atom are given below :-

1. Lyman Series

2. Balmer Series

3. Paschen Series

4. Brackett Series

5. Pfund Series
