According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction; action and reaction act on different bodies.
Here, the action force is in the leftward direction, so the reaction will be in the opposite direction.
If the action force is the swimmer pushing water in the leftward direction, then the reaction force is in the rightward direction.
And the reaction force will be given by the water on the swimmer.

Answer:

The reaction force is the water pushing the swimmer in the rightward direction.

Hope you could get an idea from here.

No, that's silly.

You've got your Pfund series where electrons fall down to the 5th level,
your Brackett series where they fall to the 4th level, and your Paschen
series where they fall to the 3rd level. All of those transitions ploop out
photons at Infrared wavelengths.

THEN next you get your Balmer series, where the electrons fall in
to the 2nd level. Most of those are at visible wavelengths, but even
a few of the Balmer transitions are in the Ultraviolet.

And then there's the Lyman series, where electrons fall all the way
down to the #1 level. Those are ALL in the ultraviolet.
