Question
Lyman series:nf=1  (91<λ<123 nm; near-UV).
Balmer series:nf=2  (365<λ<658 nm; visible).
Paschen series:nf=3  (819<λ<1877 nm; near-IR).
Brackett series:nf=4  (1.456<λ<4.054 μm; short-to-mid-λ-IR)


One of the lines in the emission spectrum of the hydrogen atom has a wavelength of λ = 93.11 nm.

: Identify the value of ninitial.
: Identify the value of nfinal .

How do i use the bohr model equation (delta E=-2.178*10^-18(z^2/nf^2-z^2/ni^2)to find n initial?
