Answer:

The energy required is 1.634×J, the wavelength is 1.215×m, and the kind of electromagnetic radiation is the ultraviolet radiation.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question above, the initial level = 1, and = 2. Then, we use Rydberg's equation to calculate the wavelength of the light absorbed by the atom during the transition.
