I'm thinking I use the omega_ij formula to determine the frequency between energy levels and then use that to calculate the wavelength.

sounds good.

sounds good.

Well, I must be doing something computationally incorrectly.

For (1) hydrogen, I'm getting a wavelength of 1.93 x 10^-8 m or 19.3 nm.

Any bright ideas? lol.
