To solve the problem, we need to identify the energy levels from which the transitions occur for the given wavelengths of emitted radiation from a hydrogen atom. We will use the Rydberg formula to find the initial energy levels and specify the spectral series. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Rydberg Formula**: The Rydberg formula for the wavelengths of spectral lines in hydrogen is given by: \[ \frac{1}{\lambda} = R \left( \frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} \right) ...
