As said by Namrata, the limiting wavelength in the Lyman series can be calculated by using the Rydberg formula. The Rydberg formula is given as

For the Lyman series, n1 = 1 and n2 = 2,3....
The above formula can be further simplified as
1 / λ = (R H / hc) [(1/ n12 ) - (1/ n22 )]
Therefore for the limiting wavelength, n2 will be ∞, so ( 1 / n2) will be zero. The Rydberg Formula will now be
1 / λ = (R H / hc) [(1/ n12 )]
Now RH has the value of 2.18X10–18 J, h that is Planck's constant has the value of 6.63 X 10-34 Js, c that is the speed of light has the value 3 X 108 ms-1 and n1has the value 1. Substituting these values in the above relation and solving for λ, we get
λ = 9.12 X 10-8 m.
So the limiting wavelength will be 9.12 X 10-8 m.
