To determine the wavelength of the first Lyman line corresponding to the transition from \( n=2 \) to \( n=1 \) in a hydrogen atom, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Lyman Series The Lyman series corresponds to transitions where electrons fall to the \( n=1 \) energy level from higher energy levels (\( n=2, 3, 4, \ldots \)). The first Lyman line is the transition from \( n=2 \) to \( n=1 \). ### Step 2: Use the Rydberg Formula The wavelength (\( \lambda \)) of the emitted photon during the transition can be calculated using the Rydberg formula: \[ ...
