Series limit means, the shortest possible wavelength (maximum photon energy) and first line means the largest possible wavelength (minimum photon energy) in the series

v=C1n21m2            (where C is a constant)

For series limit of Lyman series: n=1,m=,                 v1=C

For first line of Lyman series: n=1,m=2,                   v2=3C/4

For series limit of Balmer series: n=2,m=,                v3=C/4
