In Bohr model of hydrogen atom, the electron makes a transition from $\displaystyle \mathrm{n}=5$ to n = $\displaystyle 1$ state. As a result, a photon of wavelength $\displaystyle \lambda$ is emitted in the process. The wavelength of the photon emitted when an electron makes a transition from energy level $\displaystyle \mathrm{n}=5$ to $\displaystyle \mathrm{n}=2$ will be
