Question

   Hi so the problem goes:

"Calculate the change in energy of an electron of a hydrogen atom as the electron drops from the n=5 states to the n = 3 state."

    I understand the problem as far as the screenshot I have attached is showing, but when I plug the numbers in I get -0.13625 and then I assumed the answer would be 1.36 x 10^18 or something like this. I am told the answer is -1.55 x 10^-19. I just don't know how (or why) it is.

Best Regards,
Gabe
