Detailed Solution

The electron is in the fifth excited state, or n=6.

Here transition from

n=6n=1n=5n=1n=4n=1n=3n=1n=2n=1

in the Lyman series" (ultraviolet range)

n=6n=2n=5n=2n=4n=2n=3n=2

in the Balmer series (visible range).
While

n=6n=3n=5n=3n=4n=3n=6n=4n=5n=4n=6n=5

These changes occur in the infrared area.Question Image
