    Change in energy: ΔE = E1 - E4

    E1 = - 13.6 eV (1.602 x 10^-19 J/eV) / 1^2 = - 2.18 x 10^-18 J

    ΔE = - 2.18 x 10^-18 J - (-1.36 x 10^-19 J) = - 2.04 x 10^-18 J

    Wavelength of the photon: E = hν = hc/λ, where h = Planck's constant and v = frequency in s^-1; λ = wavelength in m, and c = 3.00 x 10^8 m/s

    2.04 x 10^-18 J = (6.626 x 10^-34 J*s) (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) / λ

    λ = (6.626 x 10^-34 J*s) (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) / (2.04 x 10^-18 J) = 9.74 x 10^-8 m
