Problem

A hydrogen atom emits a photon when its electron transitions from n=3n=3 to n=2n=2. Given the Rydberg constant RH=1.097×107 m−1R_{H}=1.097\times10^{7}\,\text{m}^{-1}, what is the wavelength of the emitted photon? a) 4.86×10−7 m4.86\times10^{-7}\,\text{m} b) 5.47×10−7 m5.47\times10^{-7}\,\text{m} c) 1.03×10−7 m1.03\times10^{-7}\,\text{m} d) 6.56×10−7 m6.56\times10^{-7}\,\text{m}
