In a hydrogen atom, an electron makes a transition from a higher orbit to a lower orbit. The radii of the initial and final Bohr orbits are in the ratio 16:4, corresponding to n(initial) = 4 and n(final) = 2. Taking the Rydberg constant as 1.0973×10⁷ m⁻¹, what is the wavelength of the emitted photon?
