where λ is the wavelength of the photon emitted or absorbed from an H atom electron transition from $n_1$ to $n_2$ and $R_h$ = 109677 is the Rydberg Constant. Here $n_1$ and $n_2$ represents the transitions.

(a) $n_1$ =2 to $n_2$ = infinity

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{\infty^2} )$ = 109677/4 [since 1/infinity = 0] Therefore, $\lambda$ = 4 / 109677 = 0.00003647 m

(b) $n_1$ =4 to $n_2$ = 20

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{4^2}-\frac{1}{20^2} )$ = 6580.62

Therefore, $\lambda$ = 1 / 6580.62 = 0.000152 m

(c) $n_1$ =3 to $n_2$ = 10

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{3^2}-\frac{1}{10^2} )$ = 11089.56

Therefore, $\lambda$ = 1 / 11089.56 = 0.00009 m

(d) $n_1$ =2 to $n_2$ = 1

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{1^2} )$ = - 82257.75

Therefore, $\lambda$ = 1 /82257.75 = - 0.0000121 m

[Even though there is a negative sign, the magnitude is only considered because the sign denotes that energy is emitted.]

So the decreasing order of wavelength of the photon absorbed or emitted is b → c → a → d.
