En= -ER/(n^2)
delta E=E2-E1= -ER/(n2^2)-( -ER/(n1^2))
n=number of energy level
En=electron energy in energy level number n
ER=rydberg energy constant=13.6 eV
1eV=1.6*10^( -19) jouls
delta E=( -13.6/16)-( -13.6/4)=2.55eV
=4.08*10^( -19) j
1/wave length=RH*(1/n1^2-1/n2^2)
RH=rydberg constant=0.0109
1/wave length=0.0109*(1/4-1/16)--------->wave length=500 nm
