Mastering Physics: Electron Transitions and Spectral Lines Conceptual Question

The spectrum of a hypothetical atom is shown in the figure.

Three distinct spectral series are shown, with the center series corresponding to transitions to a final state of $n_{\rm f} = 3$ . The indicated spectral line corresponds to the transition from an initial state of $n_{\rm i} = 5$ to the final state $n_{\rm f} = 3$ .

Part A
Which of the lettered spectral lines corresponds to the transition from $n_{\rm i} = 6$ to $n_{\rm f} = 3$ ?

ANSWER:

Part B
Which of the lettered spectral lines corresponds to the transition from $n_{\rm i} = 5$ to $n_{\rm f} = 4$ ?

ANSWER:

Part C
Which of the lettered spectral lines corresponds to the transition from $n_{\rm i} = 5$ to $n_{\rm f} = 2$ ?

ANSWER:
