Yes, I am confident in the calculations and reasoning provided. Here's a brief summary to reaffirm: 1. **Formulas Used**: - Rydberg formula for hydrogen: \(\frac{1}{\lambda} = R_H \left( \frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} \right)\) - Constants: \( R_H = 1.097 \times 10^7\, \text{m}^{-1} \), \( h = 6.626 \times 10^{-34}\, \text{Js} \), \( c = 3.00 \times 10^8\, \text{m/s} \) 2. **Calculations**: - Wavelengths were computed for each transition with correct substitution. - Energies were derived from wavelengths, confirming the photon energies correspond to the calculated wavelengths. 3. **Spectral Regions**: - The first line of the Lyman series (~121.5 nm) is in the ultraviolet region. - The first line of the Balmer series (~656 nm) is in the visible spectrum (red light). - The first lines of Paschen and Brackett series are in the infrared region, consistent with their longer wavelengths. All steps and values align with the standard Bohr model predictions for hydrogen emission spectra. If you need further verification or more detailed steps, feel free to ask!

**Final Short Answer:** | Series | First Line Wavelength (nm) | Spectral Region | |-------------|----------------------------|------------------| | Lyman | **121.5 nm** | Ultraviolet | | Balmer | **656 nm** | Visible (Red) | | Paschen | **1876 nm** | Infrared | | Brackett | **4051 nm** | Infrared |

The solution is based on the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, which describes electrons transitioning between quantized energy levels. Each emission line corresponds to an electron falling from a higher energy level \( n_i \) to a lower level \( n_f \). The key concept used is the Rydberg formula, which relates the wavelengths of emitted photons to the initial and final energy levels: \(\frac{1}{\lambda} = R_H \left( \frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} \right)\). By substituting the specific \( n_i \) and \( n_f \) values for each series (Lyman, Balmer, Paschen, Brackett), we calculate the wavelengths of the first four lines in each series. These wavelengths are then converted into photon energies using \( E = hc/\lambda \). Finally, comparing these wavelengths to the electromagnetic spectrum allows us to identify the spectral region (ultraviolet, visible, infrared) where each first emission line falls. This approach combines quantized energy levels, the Rydberg formula, and spectrum classification to systematically determine the emission lines and their spectral regions.
