Calculate the wave number corresponding to the most energetic spectral line in the Lyman series for the hydrogen atom.
Express your answer to six significant figures and include the appropriate units.
I use the formula:

Because the question asks the most energetic one, so
[wave number = Rydberg's constant/h/c]
I got the answer10974214m-1
But the answer is wrong.
What's wrong with my calculation?
