When an electron makes a transition from the n=4 to the n=2hydrogen atom Bohr orbit, the energy difference between these twoorbits (4.1x10-19J) is emitted as a photon of light. Therelationship between the energy of a photon and its wavelenght isgiven by E=hc/, where E is the energy of thephoton in J, h is Planck's constant (6.626x10-34J s), and c is thespeed of light (3.00x108m/s). Find the wavelenght oflight emitted by hydrogen atoms when an electron makes thistransition.

Calculate the energy value for the transition of an electron in the hydrogen atom from n=5 (initial value) to n=3 (final value). Also calculate the wavelength of the photon associated with this transition and determine if the photon is emitted or absorbed. Is the photon in the visible, infrared or ultraviolet portion of the electromagnetic spectrum?
