Q. An electron changes its position from orbitn = 2 to the orbit n = 4 of an atom. The wavelength of the emitted radiations is (R = R vdbergs constant)

Solution:
Wavelength of lines emitted is $ \frac{1}{\lambda }=R\left( \frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}} \right) $ where R Rydbergs constant.
Given, $ {{n}_{1}}=2,\,{{n}_{2}}=4 $ $ \therefore $ $ \frac{1}{\lambda }=R\left( \frac{1}{{{2}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{4}^{2}}} \right)=\frac{3R}{16} $ $ \Rightarrow $ $ \lambda =\frac{16}{3R} $
