An electron in a hydrogen-like atom transitions from an initial energy state with principal quantum number \(n_i\) to a lower energy state with principal quantum number \(n_f\), where \(n_i > n_f\). The magnitude of the atom's ground-state energy is \(E_0\). Which of the following expressions represents the wavelength \(\lambda\) of the photon emitted during this transition?
