The emission spectrum for hydrogen is sometimes described by five sets of emission lines corresponding to electron transitions that end on energy levels 1 to 5. These sets of emission lines are called ‘series’:| Series name | Ending energy level | e.m. radiation emitted |
|---|---|---|
| Lyman | 1 | |
| Balmer | 2 | |
| Paschen | 3 | |
| Brackett | 4 | |
| Pfund | 5 |
