The energy difference between two electronic states of hydrogen atom is 245.9 kJ mol-1. Calculate the wavelength of light emitted when an electron drops from the higher to the lower state. (plank's constant, h=3.99. 10-13 kJ.Sec.mol-1)

E= hν   = hCλ249.5 × 103   = 3.99 × 10-13 × 103 × 3 × 108λ    (h =3.99 ×10-13 kJ sec mol-1= 3.99 ×10-13 × 103 J sec mol-1)λ =3.99 × 10-13 × 103 × 3 × 108249.5 × 103  = 0.04798 × 10-5 m     = 479.8 × 10-9 m     = 479.8 nm
