Correct answer
B. Lyman series
Step-by-step solution
Lyman series is obtained when an electron jumps to the first orbit from any outer orbit \left(n_2=2,3,4 \ldots\right)\frac{1}{\lambda}=For is the Rydberg's constant . In this series, the shortest wavelength or the limit of this series (For ) is nearly
