Given information

The three wavelengths are shown by an atomic emission spectrum of a hydrogen atom are , , .

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

These three wavelengths that are shown by an atomic emission spectrum lies in the ultraviolet region. Thus, these wavelength lines come from the Lyman series with a different final principal quantum number, .

The value of the final principal quantum level for the wavelength  is  .

Convert   into

 

Calculate the initial principal quantum level
