    91.1nm/ wavelength = [1/m2 - 1/n2]

    n = shell returning from

    m = shell returning to

    wavelength = 91.0 nanometres / [1/m2 - 1/n2]

    wavelength = 91.0 nanometres / [1/(1)2 - 1/(3)2]

    wavelength = 91.0 nanometres / [1 - 0.111]

    wavelength = 91.0 nanometres / [0.889]

    your answer is: 102 nanometres
