The spectral series which corresponds to the electronic transition from the levels $n_2=5,6,\ldots$ to the level $n_1=4$ is

A Pfund series

B Brackett series

C Lyman series

D Balmer series

Detailed Solution

Transitions ending at $n_1=4$ correspond to the Brackett series (Pfund is $n_1=5$, Lyman is $n_1=1$, Balmer is $n_1=2$).
