Formula for Lyman Series?

Other Series
Lines are named sequentially starting from the longest wavelength/lowest frequency of the series, using Greek letters within each series. For example, the (n1=1/n2=2) line is called "Lyman-alpha" (Ly-α), while the (n1=3/n2=7) line is called "Paschen-delta" (Pa-δ).

How is Lyman series calculated?

since the electron is de-exited from 1(st) exited state (i.e n=2) to ground state (i.e n=1) for first line of Lyman series. Since the atomic number of Hydrogen is 1. λ = 4/3⋅912 A. 1/R = 912 A.

What is the value of Lyman series?

In physics and chemistry, the Lyman series is a hydrogen spectral series of transitions and resulting ultraviolet emission lines of the hydrogen atom as an electron goes from n ≥ 2 to n = 1 (where n is the principal quantum number), the lowest energy level of the electron.
