Asked by lef
for the emission spectrum of Be3+, calculate the lowest wavenumber νˉ (in inverse meters) of light produced by electron transitions between n=2, n=3, and n=4.

An electronic transition occurs between two energy levels. Why have you listed three?
For Be3+, you can use the Rydberg formaula for energy levels, with Z = 4. The nuclear charge is +4e, and there is one orbiting electron
Perhaps what they want is the wave number for the transitions 3->2, 4->3 and 5->4.
These will be 16 times the corresponding transitions for hydrogen
