AI Generated Solution
To calculate the wavelengths of the first four spectral lines in the Lyman series of the hydrogen spectrum using the Rydberg formula, we follow these steps:
### Step 1: Understand the Rydberg Formula
The Rydberg formula for the wavelength (\( \lambda \)) of spectral lines in hydrogen is given by:
\[
\frac{1}{\lambda} = R_H \left( \frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} \right)
\]
