Definition of lyman series
Lyman series - The series of lines in the spectrum of the hydrogen atom which corresponds to transitions between the ground state (principal quantum number n = 1) and successive excited states. The wavelengths are given by 1/X = RH(1-1/n2), where n = 2,3,4,... and RH is the Rydberg constant for hydrogen. The first member of the series (n = 1<->2), which is often called the Lyman-a line, falls at a wavelength of 1216 A, and the series converges at 912 A, the ionization limit of hydrogen.
