Question

Please, Please, Please Help Me!
How do I calculate the wavelength (λ) of transitions between the n-orbital?
For example: \(\ \Huge n=7 \rightarrow n=2 .\)

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 1 }{ \lambda } = R(\frac{ 1 }{ S^{2} }-\frac{ 1 }{ L ^{2} })\]

Where R is Rydberg's constant
S is energy level transitions to
L is energy level transitioned from

Answer 2

? What do I do with 1/λ???

Answer 3

Once you've plugged in your values and found what 1/λ equals just take 1/(that value) which will give you λ
