A hydrogen atom changes its state from $$n=3$$ to $$n=2$$. Due to recoil, the percentage change in the wave length of emitted light is approximately $$1 \times 10^{-n}$$. The value of $$n$$ is _______.
[Given Rhc $$=13.6 \mathrm{~eV}, \mathrm{hc}=1242 \mathrm{~eV} \mathrm{~nm}, \mathrm{h}=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~s}$$ mass of the hydrogenatom $$=1.6 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{~kg}$$]
