What is the maximum wavenumber/

minimum wavelength for Lymen Series

in Hydrogen atom?

For Lyman series, n1=1

For shortest wavelength in Lyman series ,the energy difference in two
states showing transition should be maximum, i.e., n2=∞

1/λ=RH[1/12−1/(∞)2]

=>λ=1/(3×109678)
=>λ =9.11×10-6cm

=>λ =911.7A∘
For longest wavelength in Lyman series,the energy difference in two
states showing transition should be minimum, i.e., n2=2

1/λ=RH[1/12−1/(2)2]

=>1/λ =3/4RH
=>λ=4/3*1/RH
=>λ =4/(3×109677)
=>λ =1215.7×10-8cm

=>λ =1215.7A∘
