Calculate the wavelength (in nm) of a photon emitted by an electron of the H atom going from an energy level n = 4 to n = 2. Rydberg Constant = 1.09678E-2 nm^-1

The wavelength (λ) for one line of the hydrogen spectrum is 0.4118 x 10^-4 cm. Use this value in the Rydberg equation to calculate the RH value using n1 = 2 and n2 = 6. Use 1/λ = RH/hc (1/n1^2 - 1/n2^2)

A hydrogen atom absorbs a photon, and its electron enters the n= 2 energy level. Using the Rydberg equation, calculate the wavelength (in nm) of the photon. Type your answer without units in the space below. Round your answer to three decimal places. Use RH = 1.09737316 x 107 m-1 for the Rydberg constant.
