The spectrum of the hydrogen atom reflects the splitting of the 1s 2 S and 2p 2

Question:

The spectrum of the hydrogen atom reflects the splitting of the 1s2S and 2p2P terms into levels. The energy difference between the levels in each term is much smaller than the difference in energy between the terms. Given this information, how many spectral lines are observed in the 1s2S → 2p2P transition? Are the frequencies of these transitions very similar or quite different?
