The lines of the Lyman series in the hydrogen spectrum lie in the

  1. Aultraviolet region
  2. Bvisible region
  3. Cinfrared region
  4. Dmicrowave region

Answer: A

Lyman lines arise from transitions to , the largest energy gaps in hydrogen (10.2 eV to 13.6 eV), so their wavelengths (about 91 nm to 122 nm) are in the ultraviolet.
