First, Hydrogen in brief:
The Lyman series is associated with the n=2 orbital in Hydrogen while the Balmer series is for the n=3 orbital.
Lyman-alpha, Ly-α, Lyman-α, K-alpha, K-α are all 1215.67 Angstroms.
Hydrogen-alpha,Ba-α, Balmer-alpha are all 6563 Angstroms.
Lyman-beta, Ly-β are 1025.722 Angstroms.
Hydrogen-beta,Ba-β are 4861 Angstroms.
Rarely encountered:
Lyman-gamma, Ly-γ, are 972.537 Angstroms
Hydrogen-gamma, Hydrogen-γ, Balmer-gamma are 4340 Angstroms.
A crucial mistake is mixing Ly-α with Hydrogen-α because these "alphas" are different coming from a different series.

For an academic interest in hydrogen, the Paschen series ( n from 4 to 3) begins with its alpha at 1875 nm or 18,750 Angstroms, or in infrared.
The hydrogen Brackett series ( n from 5 to 4) begins with its alpha at 4051 nm or 40,510 Angstroms, or in far infrared.
Values are from several sources, such as one with a spectrum (usually a quasar) having those specific lines identified.
Neutral hydrogen atom can emit at cm. This is called the I I line.
