An electron in a hydrogen atom is excited from the $$n=1$$ energy level to the $$n=3$$ energy level by absorbing a photon. The electron then transitions to the $$n=2$$ energy level, emitting a second photon. What is the ratio of the wavelength of the emitted photon to the wavelength of the absorbed photon?
