I do not understand the distinction between the Lyman, Balmer, Pascher series etc. I understand that you calculate the values in each series with the corresponding n' values but I don't understand the need for multiple series. Why can't you have one overarching series that covers the entire spectrum and why would you use one series instead of another? Also, how to the series compare to each other?
