HELP Sodium atoms emit light with a wavelength of 330 nm when an electron moves from a 4p orbital to a 3s orbital. What is the energy difference between the orbitals in kilojoules per mole?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

use this equation to find the energy the photon has \[E=\frac{ hc }{ \lambda }\] h is plancks constant c is the speed of light lambda is the wavelength (in meters, so you need to convert) multiply that by avogadros number to get the value per mole. don't forget to convert J to kJ.
