Answer:

2.56 eV

Explanation:

Using the formula;

ΔE= -RH(1/n^2final - 1/n^2initial)

RH = -2.18 * 10-18 J

nfinal = 2

ninitial =1

Substituting values;

ΔE= -2.18 * 10-18 J(1/4^2 - 1/2^2)

ΔE= -2.18 * 10-18 J(0.0625 - 0.25)

ΔE= 4.09 * 10^-19 J

To convert to eV

4.09 * 10^-19 J/1.6 * 10^-19

=2.56 eV
