Homework Statement
Light of wavelength 411 nm is emitted from a hydrogen discharge. What transition produces this emission?
a. k = 5 to n =1
b. k = 4.5 to n = 2
c. k = 2 to n = 6
d. k = 2 to n = 3
e. k = 6 to n = 2
Homework Equations
R = (1/n^2 - 1/k^2)
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm not really sure how to solve it. But I'm sure its not a, b, or e. Because n to be bigger then k to make it positive. THat left me with c and d. Someone please hint me how to do this.
