    When electron jumps from \[n=4\] to \[n=2\] orbit, we get:                                     [AIPMT 2000]

    A)  second line of Lyman series                    

    B)       second line of Balmer series

    C)  second line of Paschen series

    D)       an absorption line of Balmer series

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Second line of Lyman series corresponds to the transition \[n=3\to n=1\]
     Second line of Balmer series corresponds to the transition \[n=4\to n=2\]     
     Second line of Paschen series corresponds to the transition \[n=5\] to \[n=3\]
     An absorption line of Balmer series arises when electron jumps from \[n=2\] to any other higher state.
    Thus, choice  is correct.
