What is the name of the third series in the spectrum of hydrogen?
In ascending order of the lower energy state involved in the transition, the first six families of lines in the hydrogen spectrum are: Lyman series Balmer series Paschen series Brackett series Pfund series Humphreys series
To which series would the emitted light belong if an electron in a hydrogen atom underwent a transition from level n 5 to level n 1?
Lyman
Spectral lines of the Lyman and Balmer series do not overlap Verify this statement by calculating the longest wavelength associated with the Lyman series and shortest wavelength associated with the B?
Well, the different series represent different electronic transitions. But there is an important equation, the Rydberg formula which describes all of them.. I think you've learned of it since you mention the n values. This lead to the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, which explained _why_ you had these levels.Or, almost. See, it turned out that those lines were not actually single lines, but several lines very close together.. And so they had to add more variables to describe how these levels-within-levels fit together.. and the answer to that eventually came from quantum mechanics.
The sequence in which energy sublevels are filled is specified by?
Lyman's series
Spectral lines of the lyman and balmer series do not overlap?
so when an electron moves from an excited state to a ground state and photon with a discrete wavelength is emitted. this photon has a specific energy according to the energy between the excited and ground state. E = (1/nf2 - 1/ni2)A = hv where is A is a constant, but in this question is unimportant. h= planks constant v=frequency (should be a greek symbol) nf and ni are the electronic states. now to answer your question the lyman series is when nf is the ground state or nf =1 balmer series is when nf =2 when nf is 1 the value in the quantity above can range from ni from 2 to infinity giving values between 1 and 1/2 for the balmer series ni goes from 3 to infinity and values range between 1/4 and 5/36 these intervals dont overlap therefore the energies dont overlap therefore the lines in the series cant overlap

In science what is meant by the Lyman series?
The Lyman series is scientifically defined as the series of transitioning of hydrogen atom spectral lines that are found within emission lines of ultra violet.
Why do Lyman transitions produce ultraviolet photons while the Balmer transitions produce visible light photons?
The Lyman series is the group of energies corresponding to the transitionsof an electron between the "ground state" ... the lowest energy level ... andany other energy level that an electron can have in a hydrogen atom.The Balmer series is the group of energies corresponding to the transitionsbetween the second energy level in the hydrogen atom and any other one(except the ground state).But the energy difference between the ground state and the second level inthe hydrogen atom is about four times the difference between the second leveland any higher one, so it's pretty clear that any line in the Lyman series ought tohave substantially more energy than any line in the Balmer series.And that's a fact. The shortest wavelength in the Balmer series is 410 nm ...right there in violet light ... whereas the shortest wavelength in the Lymanseries is 122 nm, almost 2 octaves above the blue end of the visible spectrum,and well into the ultraviolet.Similarly . . .The Paschen series (transitions to/from the 3rd energy level),the Brackett series (transitions to/from the 4th energy level), andthe Pfund series (transitions to/from the 5th energy level)are groups of lines at longer and longer wavelengths, extending through the infraredand down into the short microwave wavelengths.The lowest-frequency/longest-wavelength transition associated with thehydrogen atom is the "flip" transition of the electron from one spin-orientation to the other. That's the so-called "Hydrogen-alpha" line at roughly1420 MHz / 21 cm. Wherever Hydrogen exists, electrons are flipping, andeither absorbing or emitting "H-α" radiation.For receivers capable of tuning 1420 MHz (no problem), the universe is alive with itin every direction. And if you have the opportunity to examine a chart of frequencyallocations, you'll notice that this frequency (and the band about 13 MHz to either side)is allocated for "Astronomy, Space Research, and Earth Exploration Satellites" (lookingaway from space !).
To which series would the emitted light belong if an electron in a hydrogen atom underwent a transition from level n 5 to level n 1?
Lyman
What is the wavelength of a photon that will induce a transition from the ground state to the n equals 4 state in hydrogen?
That is the "gamma" line of the Lyman series: 94.97 nanometers.

How many shells in a Bohr Atomic Model?
Bohr model consists only one shell.(a hydrogen atom shell) But shell can be increased by exciting the atom. When the electron comes to its shell it loses energy,therefore,different types of regions have been observed i.e,(Lyman,Balmer,Paschen,Bracket and Pfund)
The lines at the ultraviolet end of the hydrogen spectrum are known as the lyman series wich electron transitions within an atom are responsible for these lines?
The series of lines in an emission spectrum caused by electrons falling from energy level 2 or higher (n=2 or more) back down to energy level 1 (n=1) is called the Lyman series. These emission lines are in the ultra-violet region of the spectrum.
The sequence in which energy sublevels are filled is specified by?
Lyman's series
What is Hydrogen spectra exactly?
Use the Rydberg formula. 1/lambda = R * ((1/n1)2 - (1/n2)2) n1 = 1 gives the Lyman series, n1 = 2 gives the Balmer series, and so on. R here is the Rydberg constant, not the ideal gas constant; it's roughly equal to 1.097 x 107 reciprocal meters. You can get that to a lot more significant figures by consulting a physics textbook or good quality handbook of physical constants; since you said "exactly" you may want that level of precision.
