MCQ
The electron in the hydrogen atom undergoes transition from higher orbitals to orbital of radius $211.6\, pm$. This transition is associated with
  • A
    Lyman series
  • Balmer series
  • C
    Paschen series
  • D
    Brackett series

Answer

Correct option: B.
Balmer series
b
$r = 0.529 \times \frac{{{n^2}}}{Z}$

$r = 211.6\,pm = 2.11\,\mathop A\limits^o $

$ \Rightarrow 0.529 \times \frac{{{n^2}}}{Z} = 2.11\,\mathop A\limits^o $

$n = 2$ (Balmer series)
