Problem

The energies of the third and second Bohr orbits of hydrogen are −1.51 eV-1.51\,\text{eV} and −3.40 eV-3.40\,\text{eV} respectively. Calculate the frequency of the photon emitted when the electron moves from the third to the second orbit. (Take h=6.63×10−34 J sh=6.63\times10^{-34}\,\text{J\,s}, 1 eV=1.60×10−19 J1\,\text{eV}=1.60\times10^{-19}\,\text{J}.)
