  • D 3 → 2

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

In Bohr series of lines of hydrogen spectrum :- AIEEE 2003 Chemistry - Structure of Atom Question 180 English Explanation Red end means end of visible region which is balmer series of lines so n will be 2

Now for third lines with respect to Balmer series means n = (2 + 3) = 5th line

∴ n1 = 2 and n2 = 5

For 2 → 5 electron will need energy to jump as 2 > 5 so no spectrum will release instead energy will be absorbed.

∴ 5 → 2
