उत्तर

 In is the quantum number of the highest energy level involved in the transitions, then the total number of possible spectral lines emitted is

`N = (n(n-1))/2`

Third excited state means fourth energy level i.e. n = 4. Here, electron makes transition from = 4 to = 1 so highest is = 4

Thus, possible spectral lines

`N = (4 (4 -1))/2`

   `=(4 xx 3)/2`

     = 6

6 is the maximum possible number of spectral lines.
