Let's say I want to calculate the wavelength of the photon emitted when an electron of an arbitrary element (let's say Carbon) drops from n=4n=4 to n=3n=3 . Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I would have to find the change in the electron's energy value ΔE=EiEf\Delta E = E_i - E_f , set that equal to hc/λhc/\lambda and solve for the wavelength ( λ\lambda ). How could I find EfE_f and EiE_i ? My textbook gives Bohr's Equation but it also says that it fails to generalize, it only works for singular electrons and is kind of inaccurate outside of hydrogen. Does there exist a general equation to find these values?
