Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
A

When electron beam of 12.75 eV is incident over H-gaseous,
energy of H -atoms will be

This corresponds to excited state

Clearly, emitted radiation lies in lyman series ( and few emissions are is Balmer series ( and ). One of them ( to ) lies in paschen series ( ).
