In hydrogen’s characteristic spectra, each series (Lyman, Balmer, etc) has a “series limit”, where the wavelengths at one end of the series tend to “bunch up”, approaching a single limiting value. part a: Is it at the short-wavelength or the long-wavelength end of the series that this series limit occurs? part b: What is it about hydrogen’s allowed energies that leads to this phenomenon?
