Problem

An electron in a hydrogen atom is excited to the fourth Bohr orbit (n=4n=4). It returns to the ground state (n=1n=1) in two successive steps. One of the emitted photons has a wavelength of 486.1 nm486.1\,\text{nm}. Determine the wavelength of the other photon. (Use RH=1.097×107 m−1R_{H}=1.097\times10^{7}\,\text{m}^{-1}.)
