A hydrogen atom makes a  transition from the n=8 state to the n = 4 state. What is  the wavelength of the emitted photon in micrometers?  Please give your answer with two decimal places. The lowest level energy state of hydrogen is -13.6 eV. (h = 6.626 × 10-34 J ∙ s, 1 eV = 1.60 × 10-19 J, c = 3.00 × 108 m/s)
