The Balmer series in the hydrogen spectrum corresponds to the transition from $n_1 = 2$ to $n_2 = 3, 4, ...$ This series lies in the visible region. Calculate the wave number of the line associated with the transition in the Balmer series when the electron moves to the $n = 4$ orbit. $(R_H = 109677 \ cm^{-1})$
