The discussion clarifies that a single hydrogen atom cannot emit multiple colors simultaneously through one electron jumping between energy levels. Instead, the hydrogen spectrum displays multiple colors due to numerous electrons in various hydrogen atoms transitioning between different energy levels, resulting in a distribution of emitted photons. This phenomenon is observed in hydrogen gas lamps, where electric current excites many hydrogen atoms, leading to the emission of light across the spectrum.

You have been mis-informed. Have a look at this wiki article on the hydrogen spectrumBassel AbdulSabour said:If the spectral line of Hydrogen contains four colors, I don’t understand how the electron can jump four times to four different energy levels in the same moment?
