What is the wavelength of the light emitted when the electron in a hydrogen atom undergoes transition from an energy level with `n=4` to an energy level with `n=2` ? What is the colour corresponding to this wavelength ? (Rydberg constant `=109, 677 cm^(-1)`)

Answer» `bar(v)=R(1/n_(1)^(2)-1/n_(2)^(2))=109677 (1/2^(2)-1/4^(2)) cm^(-1) =20564.4 cm^(-1)`
`lambda =1/v=1/(20564.4 cm^(-1))=486xx10^(-7) cm=486xx10^(-9) m=486 nm`
The colour corresponding to this wavelength is blue.
