Expert Solution
Step 1

In case of hydrogen atom, the energy of the emitted photon can be calculated by the formula

  En=-13.6 evn2  where n= number of states

Here electron jump from n=3 orbit to n=2 orbit

so, initial orbit of electron ni =3

final orbit nf= 2

In our case the energy of photon become,  E=E3-E2
