Answer:
This transition is part of the Lyman series and takes place in the ultraviolet part of the electromagnetic spectrum. This means that in order to remove the electron from the ground state of a hydrogen atom in the gaseous state and create a hydrogen ion, you need to supply 2.181⋅10−18 J of energy.
hope this answer is helpful for you.
