Assertion : In Lyman series,the ratio of minimum and maximum wavelength is $\frac{3}{4}$.
Reason : Lyman series constitute spectral lines corresponding to transition from higher energy to ground state of hydrogen atom.

Find the ratio of the first wavelengths of the Lyman series and the Balmer series.

$A$ $12.5\,eV$ electron beam is used to bombard gaseous hydrogen at room temperature. The number of spectral lines emitted will be:

What is the wavelength of light for the least energetic photon emitted in the Lyman series of the hydrogen spectrum (in $\text{ nm}$)? (Take $hc = 1240 \text{ eV nm}$)

In the Lyman series,the series limit of wavelength is $\lambda_1$. The wavelength of the first line of the Lyman series is $\lambda_2$ and in the Balmer series,the series limit of wavelength is $\lambda_3$. Then the relation between $\lambda_1$,$\lambda_2$,and $\lambda_3$ is
