How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T16807270 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Balmer series of hydrogen
The Balmer series of hydrogen is the set of spectral emission lines in the visible region produced when electrons in a hydrogen atom transition from higher energy levels down to the second principal energy level.
-
B.
Paschen series
The Paschen series is a set of spectral lines in the infrared region of the hydrogen atom’s emission spectrum corresponding to electron transitions ending at the n=3 energy level.
-
C.
Lyman series in hydrogen spectrum
The Lyman series in the hydrogen spectrum is a set of ultraviolet emission or absorption lines produced when electrons in hydrogen atoms transition from higher energy levels down to the ground state (n=1).
-
D.
Rydberg series
The Rydberg series is a sequence of spectral lines in atoms that converge toward an ionization limit, described by the Rydberg formula and fundamental to understanding atomic energy levels.
-
E.
Fraunhofer lines
Fraunhofer lines are the dark absorption lines observed in the solar spectrum that reveal the presence and properties of elements in the Sun’s atmosphere and intervening gases.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
