Which of the following spectral series of the hydrogen atom lies in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum?

If an electron in a hydrogen atom jumps from the $3^{rd}$ orbit to the $2^{nd}$ orbit,it emits a photon of wavelength $\lambda$. When it jumps from the $4^{th}$ orbit to the $3^{rd}$ orbit,the corresponding wavelength of the photon will be

In the Lyman series,the series limit of wavelength is $\lambda_1$. The wavelength of the first line of the Lyman series is $\lambda_2$ and in the Balmer series,the series limit of wavelength is $\lambda_3$. Then the relation between $\lambda_1$,$\lambda_2$,and $\lambda_3$ is

$A$ doubly ionised $Li$ atom is excited from its ground state $(n = 1)$ to $n = 3$ state. The wavelengths of the spectral lines are given by $\lambda_{32}, \lambda_{31}$ and $\lambda_{21}$. The ratios $\lambda_{32}/\lambda_{31}$ and $\lambda_{21}/\lambda_{31}$ are,respectively:

In the spectrum of a hydrogen atom,the ratio of the longest wavelength in the Lyman series to the longest wavelength in the Balmer series is
