i've watched about 10 videos and spent about 8hrs on one homework assignment before I got to your video. Thank you so much for making this because this is the clearest explanation of how to do this and I'm finally understanding something in chemistry

umm excuse me, how did you get 9 and 25? Where did those numbers come from!

[Josh-ocib]

how did n=5 turn into 9
and n= 3 turn to 25?

Thanks so much! You make it seem so simple. I have never heard of doing an answer ^-1!

The equation should be 1/lambda=2.18*10e-18J/hc (planck's constant, speed of light) (1/n^2f - 1/n^2i) where did that random 1.096776*10e7m-1 come from?

[pranavsingh]

how would you find which region of the electromagnetic spectrum this would be on?

How do you get that on screen calculator?
