Homework Statement
Electron on n=6 level emits wavelength of 410.2nm.
What energy level does it move too?
Homework Equations
1/L = R ( 1/N^2 - 1/n^2)
where N is initial and n final
R=1.096779*10^7 m
The Attempt at a Solution
1/410.2 = 10967790 (1/36 - 1/n^2)
1/4498975152 = (1/36 - 1/n^2)
-1/36 -1/36
4498975152 =n^2
sqrt
n=67074...
this number is wrong, it is not an energy level, and not one of the answers, what did I do wrong?
