Electrons falling back on any n > 2

[Jiayi_Cao_3E]

Hello! Besides the Lyman and Balmer Series, do we have to understand and memorize any other ones? I searched on google and there are some descriptions of "Paschen series."

Also, usually how many energy levels are there for an atomic spectra to have a category such as n1 = UV, n2 = visible light, and n3 = IR

I don't think any other series or like n=... needs to be memorized since there was nothing in the lecture or textbook about them. For the Paschen series, that is for n=3 or for the infrared region.

Theoretically, the atomic spectra has an infinite number of energy levels but I'm pretty sure we will use up to 6 or 7(which is based on the periodic table) energy levels.

Oh ok that's good to know. Thanks!
