Hello,
I don't know if this is the right place to post..
this is a self study question from Levine, it is told that is important but i have no clue in solving it ..
The Balmer series corresponds to a set of emissions involving the electron in a hydrogen atom relaxing from a high energy state into the n = 2 level. The emission peaks in this series corresponding to transitions from n = 6, 5, 4, and 3 to n = 2 all appear in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Prove that these are the only four transitions between energy levels in the hydrogen atom that lead to emissions in the visible part of the spectrum.
