Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The n=8 to n=2 transition corresponds to a jump of energy levels which is large, and as a result, it requires the emission of a photon of high energy. This means that the frequency of the emitted photon is corresponding to ultraviolet wavelengths. Hence, the correct choice is C) ultraviolet.
