\[E=R_{E} (1/n _{f}^{2} - 1/n_{i}^{2})\]

ni is the initial energy level and nf is the final energy level of the electron

Re is rydberg's constant

how u derived it???
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it's already derived, wikipedia talks all about it

that equation is the energy of a photon being emitted, a general energy equation is E=-Zke^2/2r which you can use at any orbital, subtract and get the difference of energy between the two orbitals
These are equations that take days to derive in a classroom so I am not going to attempt to do it here.

k thanx a lot i hav 2 more questions

sorry, it's been a while since Ive done these. I think that if an electron is excited to n level then there will be (n-1)! emission lines
