The electron in a hydrogen atom is excited to a 4d-orbital. Calculate the energy of the photon

Question:

The electron in a hydrogen atom is excited to a 4d-orbital. Calculate the energy of the photon released if the electron were then to move to each of the following orbitals:

(a) 1s;

(b) 2p;

(c) 2s;

(d) 4s.

(e) If the outermost electron in a potassium atom were excited to a 4d-orbital and then fell to the same orbitals, describe qualitatively how the emission spectrum would differ from that of hydrogen (do not do any calculations). Explain your answer.
