-
Use the hydrogen spectral series formula
For any spectral line,
-
Identify the lowest wavelength of the Lyman series
In the Lyman series, transitions end at .
The lowest wavelength means the series limit, i.e. .
So, Hence,
Given:
-
Find the lowest wavelength of the Balmer series
In the Balmer series, transitions end at .
Again, the lowest wavelength is the series limit, i.e. .
Therefore,
So,
-
Substitute the given value
-
