Q. Transition from the third shell to any other shell in the hydrogen spectrum is

A
Balmer series
B
Paschen series
C
Pfund series
D
Lyman series
Solution:

The lines of spectrum of the hydrogen atom when emitted are divided into a number of spectral series with wavelength that is given by the Rydberg formula. The spectral lines are formed due to the electrons making a transition or movement between two energy levels in an atom.

Paschen series is a sequence of absorption or emission lines along the near infrared part of the hydrogen atom. This is caused by the electron jump between the 3rd energy level and the higher levels .
