MCQ
How many spectral lines does hydrogen have?
- AFour
- BThree
- CTwo
- DOne
✓
Answer
- Four
Explanation:
Niels Bohr calculated the energies that a hydrogen atom would have in each of its energy levels, based on the wavelength of the spectral lines.
Then he found out that there are four spectral lines for hydrogen, namely, Lyman, Balmer, Paschen, and Brackett series.
The Lyman series lies in the UV region, whereas the Balmer series lies in the visible region, and the last two lie in the infrared region.
