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.

00:01 Let's calculate the wavelength of light emitted for an electron going from n equals 4 to n equals 2 in a hydrogen atom.
00:10 So sweet n initial and final.
00:12 A formula here would be 1 over lambda is equal to our rydberg constant.
00:17 1 over n final squared minus 1 over n initial squared.
00:22 1 over lambda.
00:23 Ridberg constant is given to us at 1 .09678 times 10 to the 1 .10.
00:30 Minus 2 nanometers to the minus 1, 1 over 2 squared, minus 1 over 4 squared, 1 over lambda works out to be...
