Expert Solution
Concept and Principle:
  • When an electron moves from a higher state to a lower state it will release energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The wavelength of the released photon is given by the Rydberg formula.

 

  • Rydberg formula is given by,

λ=1R∞(n12n22n12−n22)

Here R∞ is the Rydberg constant and has a value of 1.097373 × 107 m-1, and n1 and n2 are the states in which transition takes place.
