We know that for an electron in bohr's orbit,
Potential energy = 2 x total energy
=> PE = 2 x -15 = -30 ev
Also
kinetic energy = -(Total energy)
=> KE = -(-15) = 15 ev
Now the electron has a total energy of -15ev in that orbit and -13.6 ev in ground orbit,
Hence difference in energy level of both the orbit
= -15 - (-13.6)
= -1.4 ev
According to Rydberg equation,
λ = 1240/energy difference
=> λ = 1240/1.4
=> λ = 885.7 nm
