we know that E=X(1/M^2*1/N^2), where M=2,N=3 putting this value of M,N so,
E=x(1/2*1/3^2)
E=x(1/4-1/9).

E=x (9-4)/36.
E =x.5/36=5x/36 answer.

E1 = -x
(energy of 1st orbit relative to free electron at 0).

For a hydrogen atom:
Energies of 2nd and 3rd orbit

E2 =(-x/2²) = (-x/4).
E3 = (-x/3²) = (-x/9).

Now,
Energy required to jump from 2 → 3.

∆ E = E3 - E2.
={-(x/9)- (-x/4)}.
= (X/4) - (x/9).
= (9x-4x)/36.
= 5x/36 Answer.
