The correct answer is:
According to Bohr's postulates, if an electron absorbs a photon with energy equal to the difference between the energies of an excited state and the ground state, it will jump to a higher energy orbital.
Considering that the energy of the colliding electron is or , depending on how much energy is lost during the collision. is the maximum excited state. Hence, there are spectral lines in a total of
