When a hydrogen atom in an excited state emits light, the photon carries away energy and the atom goes into a lower energy state. Be careful about units. The Rydberg constant in eV is 13.605693009 eV That would be multiplied by the charge on the electron 1.602× 10-19 C to give 2.18× 10-18 J A photon with this energy would have a frequency f such that E=hf. Its wavelength would be λ = c/f = hc/E. Sometimes it is handy to measure the Rydberg constant in units of 1/length for this reason.
