For sodium light, the two yellow lines occur at $\lambda _{1}$ and $\lambda _{2}$ wavelengths. If the mean of these two is $6000 \, \overset{^\circ }{A}$ and $\left|\lambda _{2} - \lambda _{1}\right|=6 \, \overset{^\circ }{A}$ , then the approximate energy difference between the two levels corresponding to $\lambda _{1}$ and $\lambda _{2}$ is
