Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Lyman series consists of photons emitted when an electron drops from a higher energy level to the n=1 energy level. As n=1 is the ground state energy level, all of the photons in the Lyman series have high energy and short wavelengths, which fall in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
