In the hydrogen atom, the transition from the 2p state to the 1s state emits a photon with energy 16.2 x10-19 J. In an iron atom, the same transition emits X-rays with wave- length 0.193 nm. Calculate the energy difference between these two states in iron. Explain the difference in the 2p-1s energy level spacing in these two atoms.
