Physic Light

hello,
Anyone could you please help me with this question:
The diagram represents some energy levels of the mercury atom.

0
-1.6





-5.5 Energy/eV








-10.4



charge of electron = 1.6 × 10–19 C
the Planck constant = 6.6 × 10–34 J s
speed of light in vacuo = 3.0 × 108 ms–1

1) A transition between which two energy levels in the mercury atom will give rise to an emission line of wavelength 320nm?
e = hf

f = v/lamba

so, e = (h*v)/lamba, where v = speed of light and h is planck's constant

Thank you .
But why v is the speedof light?
