When electron in hydrogen atom jumps to the inner most orbit, the radiation emitted belongs to which one of the following series?

A
Paschen
B
Balmer
Correct answer
C
Lyman
D
Brackett

Solution

According to the emission of hydrogen spectrum, when an electron jumps to innermost orbit (i.e., $n=1$ ), the radiation emitted belongs to Lyman series.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
