The series of the hydrogen spectrum that lies in the ultraviolet region is the
Answer: (C) Lyman series
Concept. The region of a series depends on its lower level: transitions to $n = 1$ have the largest energy gaps.
Step 1. Place each series. Lyman (to $n = 1$): ultraviolet. Balmer (to $n = 2$): visible. Paschen, Brackett, Pfund: infrared.
Answer. Lyman series (Option C).
