Detailed Solution

The jump of electron from n=2 to any higher orbit happens due to absorption of Balmer series photon.

hcλ=13.61n121n22

Put n1=2 and n2=4, we get λ=486nm

Transition IV will occur when a hydrogen atom is irradiated with radiation of  wavelength 656 nm.

hcλ=13.61n121n22

Put n1=2 and n2=3, we get λ=656nm

Transition IV will emit the longest wavelength line in the visible portion of the  hydrogen spectrum.
