Detailed Solution

In a hydrogen atom, the energy of electron in nth orbit is

En=-13.6n2eV

when n increases, energy of electron becomes less negative and hence increases.

Energy released during transition from n=  to n = 1 (Lyman series) is 13.6 eV.

wavelength of the photon = 1240013.6 911 A 

It comes under UV region.
