Problem

The hydrogen-atom energy levels are: n=1n=1: −13.6 eV-13.6\,\text{eV} n=2n=2: −3.40 eV-3.40\,\text{eV} n=3n=3: −1.51 eV-1.51\,\text{eV} n=4n=4: −0.85 eV-0.85\,\text{eV} An electron starts in the n=4n=4 level and eventually reaches the ground state. Calculate the energy (in eV) of the single most energetic photon that can be emitted during this process.
