Question

What is the wavenumber of the photon emitted during transition from the orbit $\text{n} = 5$ to that of $\text{n} = 2$ in hydrogen atom? $[ \text{R}_\text{H} = 109677\text{ cm}^{-1} ]$}

• A. $23032\text{ cm}^{-1}$
• B. $46064\text{ cm}^{-1}$
• C. $69096\text{ cm}^{-1}$
• D. $92128\text{ cm}^{-1}$

Hint:

Transition to $n=2$ corresponds to the Balmer series.
