A. The wavelength of light that is emitted is 122 nm.

What is wavelength?

Wavelength is the distance between identical points (adjacent crests) in the adjacent cycles of a waveform signal propagated in space or along a wire.

Wavelength of light is emitted

When an electron falls from the n = 2 to the n = 1 energy levels in a Hydrogen atom, the wavelength of light is emitted is calculated as follows;

¹/λ = R(1/n₁²  -  1/n₂²)

¹/λ = 109677(1/1 - 1/2²)

¹/λ = 109677(1 - ¹/₄)

¹/λ = 82,257.25

λ = 1/8,225.25

λ = 1.22 x 10⁻⁵ cm

λ = 1.22 x 10⁻⁷ m

λ = 122  nm

Thus, the wavelength of light that is emitted is 122 nm.
