(a) Derive an expression for the shortest wavelength λmin in the Lyman series of a hydrogen-like ion having atomic number Z.
(b) Using the expression obtained, calculate λmin for the He+ ion.
(c) Compute the energy of a photon of this wavelength and compare it with the corresponding value for hydrogen. Comment on the result.
