"n"_2 = 6

Explanation:

Given : vartheta = 1.14 × 10^14 Hz
n_1 = 4

To find lambda,
lambda = c/(vartheta)

By taking c as 3 × 10^8 ms^-1 and plugging the values we get,

lambda = 26315 A°

Now, to find n_2, for finding the spectral lines for Hydrogen we use,

1/(lambda) = R (1/("n"_1^2) - 1/("n"_2^2))

Use 1/(R) = 911A°

By plugging the values in the above equation we get,

"n"_2^2 = 36

Which is, n_2 = 6
