The electron energy in hydrogen atom is given by En = (- 2.18 × 10-18) / n2 J. Calculate the energy required to remove an electron completely from the n = 2 orbit. What is the longest wavelength of light in cm that can be used to cause this transition?

Step I.

Calculation of energy required 

The energy required is the difference in the energy when the electron jumps from orbit with n = ∞ to orbit with n = 2. 

The energy required (∆E) = E - E2

Step II. 

Calculation of the longest wavelength of light in cm used to cause the transition 

∆E = hv = hc / λ.
