What is the longest wavelength of light that can be emitted by a hydrogen atom that has an initial configuration of 8p^1?

Thank you!!

Do you have a diagram from which to choose or are you to calculate the wavelength. Is that 8p1 a term symbol or something different?
Answered by abby
no, there is no diagram. they just say it: 8p1 is the orbital number. So n=8. but i'm stuck from there.

Thank you for your help.
