AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of calculating the wavelength of the first line and the series limit for the Lyman series in hydrogen, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Lyman Series The Lyman series involves electronic transitions in a hydrogen atom where the electron falls from a higher energy level (n2) to the ground state (n1 = 1). The first line of the Lyman series corresponds to the transition from n2 = 2 to n1 = 1. ### Step 2: Use the Rydberg Formula The Rydberg formula for the wavelength (λ) of light emitted during an electronic transition is given by: \[ ...
