Though hydrogen has only one electron in its atom but shows several line spectrums, why?

Though a hydrogen atom has only one electron, it contains a large number of shells, so when this single electron jumps from one shell to another, a photon is emitted, and the energy difference of the shells causes different wavelengths to be released... hence, mono-electronic hydrogen has many spectral lines.

It does not matters no of electron it depends on energy gain or loss by an electron
