Problem

When a hydrogen atom undergoes a transition from the n=3n=3 state to the n=2n=2 state, a photon is emitted. The energy of the nn-th level of hydrogen is En=−13.6 eV/n2E_n = -13.6\,\text{eV}/n^{2}. a. Calculate the wavelength of the emitted photon. Express your answer in nanometers to two significant figures.
