Answer

$0.021\;m$

Work Step by Step

In the previous section of this problem, we have calculated that the frequency of the radiation is $v=1.40\times 10^{10}\;Hz$ Let, $\;\lambda$ be the wavelength of the radiation that would induce a transition between the two states. Now we can write $\lambda=\frac{c}{v}$ or, $\lambda=\frac{3\times 10^{8}}{1.40\times 10^{10}}\;Hz$ or, $\lambda\approx0.021\;m$ Therefore, the wavelength of the radiation is $0.021\;m$
