Hydrogen's most prominent spectral line is the Lyman line, and the wavelength of Lyman line is 121.6nm.
If we observe a distant object, and see it emit Lyman light at 440nm, what is the redshift of the object?
Also, if we only had the Lyman line for measuring redshifts, what is the minimum redshift of distant objects we oould see from the surface of the Earth?
