Dear moses christoper,
If an electronic transition takes place from the L Shell to the K Shell i.e., n=2(L Shell) to n=1(K Shell) then the wavelength of the light emitted is given by the Rydberg's formula
Where
- is the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation emitted in vacuum,
- is the Rydberg constant, approximately 1.097 * 107 m-1,
- and are integers such that .
Therefore the wavelength according to your problem will be 91.13 nm
Hope this helped you immensely...
