Question

Which spectrum of hydrogen consists of the Lyman, Balmer, and Paschen series?

continuous spectrum

line spectrum

serial spectrum

translational spectrum

LBP spectrum

Answer 1

a. Line spectrum is the answer

Answer 2

Line spectrum

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

It is well-known fact that when an atom absorbs a specific amount of energy, it goes to an excited state relative to its normal state. On the contrary, when an excited atom returns to the ground state, it emits light. Thus, we can use a spectroscope to view when the light is formed; therefore, the images of the slit appear along the scale of the instrument as a series of colored lines. The various colors correspond to light of definite wavelengths, and the series of lines is called a line spectrum which is exposed by the hydrogen in its spectral series.

Best regards.
