Because the electron volt energies limited our significant figures, we can only use our answer to THREE significant figures. Use 4.17 x 10 J for the calculation below. Part C- Now that you have the energy of the photon in Joules, use the equation to the left to calculate the wavelength (in nm) of this transition (n=4 to n=2). Report your answer to three significant figures.
