Initially, the electron is in some unknown stationary state. Then the electron emits a photon of "specific" energy and is now in a lower state. What is special about the energies associated with the different stationary states? They are quantized:

$$E_{n} = \frac{n^{2}\pi^{2}\hbar^{2}}{2mL^{2}}$$

Do you got it now? By the way, where did the 8 come from in your formula?

im not sure its in my forumla book, where did you get the pie from i don't have that in the equation

 

[malawi_glenn]

He is using h-bar.

$$\hbar = h/(2\pi )$$

And you have all the equations you need for this, why don't you make a serious attempt to solve it?
If you have NO clue, make a (motivated) guess!

He is using equation with h, placks constat, you are using formula with h-bar. Be careful! :-)
