Formula:

λvac = R(1/n12 - 1/n22)
Where, λvac = Wavelength of electromagnetic radiation emitted in vacuum R = Rydberg Constant,approximately 1.097 x 107 m-1,
n1, n2 = Integers greater than or equal to 1 such that n1 < n2 , corresponding to the principal quantum numbers of the orbitals occupied before and after the 'quantum leap'.

Example

Find the Wavelength of Electromagnetic Radiation Emitted in Vacuum for the principal quantum numbers of the orbitals n1 as 7, n2 as 8 having a Rydberg Constant of 1.0973731568549e+7
λvac = 1.097x107x [1/(7)2 + 1/(8)2]
= 52489.1497

The hydrogen spectrum can be expressed simply in terms of the Rydberg formula. You can find λvac based on the principal quantum numbers and Rydberg constant using this online Rydberg Equation Calculator.
