We know

Energy on any orbit is given by,

E n = 1 3 . 6 n 2 z 2

  E 1 = 1 3 . 6 1 2 * 9 [n1 = 1] (1)

For 3rd orbit

E 3 = 1 3 . 6 9 *   [n2 = 3]

E3 = 13.6ev

Δ E = E 3 E 1

= 13.6 – (13.6 * 9)

Δ E = 8 * 1 3 . 6 e v = p h o t o n e n e r g y

8 * 1 3 . 6 e v = h c λ

8 * 1 3 . 6 e v = 1 2 4 2 e v λ n m

λ = 1 1 . 4 1 5 * 1 0 9

= 114.15 * 1010m
