Calculate the wavelength of the spectral line produced

I keep getting this question wrong. Can someone explain what they did?

Hey,
So for that one you would use the Rydberg's equation which is 1/lambda=(1/nfinal^2 - 1/ninitial ^2).
Make sure your units are in nanometers at the end.
Hope this helps!

Like Isis mentioned, you can use the equation 1/lambda=(1/nfinal^2 - 1/ninitial ^2). If you look at your constants and equations sheet, this is derived from the equation v=R[1/(nfinal^2) - 1/(ninitial ^2)].
