Calculate the wavelength of the radiation released when an electron moves from n= 5 to n=2.

Calculate the wavelength of the radiation released when an electron in a hydrogen atom moves from $n = 5$ to $n = 2$.

How can I thoughtfind this question was easy. But I did it 5 times and I get the wrong answer every time. I don't know. I think it is a careless mistake. But. Can someone give me the answer and explain it so I know where did I mess up?wavelength?

Thank you very much

EDIT 1: I used the Rydberg formula. to get the energy. Then I used E=hv to get the frequeny and finally used c=hv.
