Which spectral series of the hydrogen atom is found in the ultraviolet region?

The largest wavelength in the ultraviolet region of the hydrogen spectrum is $122 \ nm$. The smallest wavelength in the infrared region of the hydrogen spectrum (to the nearest integer) is (in $nm$)

The wavelengths corresponding to the first four spectral lines of the Lyman series of the $H$-atom are $\lambda = 1218 \, \mathring{A}, 1028 \, \mathring{A}, 974.3 \, \mathring{A}$,and $951.4 \, \mathring{A}$. Now,consider a deuterium atom instead of a hydrogen atom. Given the mass of the hydrogen atom is $1.6725 \times 10^{-27} \, kg$,the mass of the deuterium atom is $3.3374 \times 10^{-27} \, kg$,and the mass of the electron is $9.109 \times 10^{-31} \, kg$,calculate the percentage change in the wavelength of the first spectral line of the Lyman series for the deuterium atom relative to the hydrogen atom.

Which series of the hydrogen spectrum lies in the visible region?

The stopping potential for the photoelectrons emitted from a metal surface of work function $1.7 \ eV$ is $10.4 \ V$. Identify the energy levels corresponding to the transitions in a hydrogen atom which will result in the emission of a wavelength equal to that of the incident radiation for the above photoelectric effect.
