OpenStudy (ghazi):

use \[\Delta E= \frac{ h*c }{ \lambda }\] find lambda first

OpenStudy (ghazi):

then use \[\lambda = \frac{ m^2}{ m^2-n^2 }\] now you can calculate number of lines...for hydrogen take n=2 you'll have values of m ..and i guess there are total 5 spectral lines..

OpenStudy (ghazi):

but do remember...your m should be not that high so as to lose your wavelength ...your wavelength must be recovered....
