The wavelength of light produced if an electron moves from n=6 state to n=5 state of an electron in a hydrogen atom is 7.59 × [tex]10^-6[/tex] m
Using the Rydberg formula;
1/λ = 1.09737 × [tex]10^-6[/tex] (1/[tex]nf^2[/tex] - 1/[tex]ni^2[/tex])
Where;
λ = wavelength
nf = final state of the electron
ni = initial state of the electron
Substituting values;
1/λ = 1.09737 × [tex]10^7[/tex] ([tex]1/5^2[/tex] - [tex]1/6^2[/tex])
1/λ = 1.09737 × [tex]10^7[/tex] (1/25 - 1/36)
1/λ = 1.09737 × [tex]10^7[/tex] (0.04 - 0.028)
1/λ = 1.09737 × [tex]10^7[/tex] (0.012)
λ = 7.59 × [tex]10^-6[/tex] m
