Energy of an electron is given by $E = -2.178 \times 10^{-18} \ J \left( \frac{Z^2}{n^2} \right)$. Wavelength of light required to excite an electron in a hydrogen atom from level $n = 1$ to $n = 2$ will be:

  • A
    $1.214 \times 10^{-7} \ m$
  • B
    $2.816 \times 10^{-7} \ m$
  • C
    $6.500 \times 10^{-7} \ m$
  • D
    $8.500 \times 10^{-7} \ m$
