The wavelength that is associated with the transition is  2145 nm.What is the wavelength?We know that the wavelength can be obtained from the use of the Rydberg equation and we know that the Bohr's mode lets us know that an electron can move from from a higher to a lower energy level.Let us write;1/λ = RH(1/[tex]n_{2} ^2[/tex] - 1/[tex]n_{1} ^2[/tex])λ = wavelengthRH = Rydberg constant[tex]n_{1}[/tex] = initial level[tex]n_{2}[/tex] = final levelThen;1/λ = 1.097 * 10^7 (1/4^2 - 1/7^2)1/λ = 1.097 * 10^7 ( 0.0625 - 0.020)λ =  2145 nmLearn more about wavelength:https://brainly.com/question/13533093#SPJ1
