What is the hydrogen spectrum? Give its characteristics.
(N/A) Hydrogen spectrum: When an electric discharge is passed through gaseous hydrogen,the $H_{2}$ molecules dissociate and the energetically excited hydrogen atoms produced emit electromagnetic radiation,which is known as the hydrogen spectrum.
Characteristics:
$1$. It is a line emission spectrum.
$2$. It is a discontinuous spectrum.
$3$. It consists of a large number of spectral lines appearing in different regions of wavelengths (e.g.,Lyman,Balmer,Paschen,Brackett,and Pfund series).
$4$. Each series is named after its discoverer.
