Chapter 4, Problem 17P

In a Franck−Hertz experiment on sodium atoms, the first excitation threshold occurs at 2.103 eV. Calculate the wavelength of emitted light expected just above this threshold. (Note: Sodium vapor lamps used in street lighting emit spectral lines with wavelengths 5891.8 and 5889.9 Å.)
