In hydrogen spectrum, the wavelengths of light emitted in a series of spectral lines
is given by the equation,
\(\frac{1}{\lambda}=\mathrm{R}\left(\frac{1}{4^{2}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}^{2}}\right)\), where \(\mathrm{n}=5,6,7 \ldots \ldots \ldots . .\) and \({ }^{\prime} \mathrm{R}^{\prime}\) is Rydberg's constant. Identify the
series and wavelength region.
