Which of the following transitions in the spectrum of the hydrogen atom results in the absorption of a photon with the largest energy?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The energy difference between levels in the hydrogen atom increases significantly as the initial quantum number decreases. The transition from n = 1 to n = 4 involves moving from the ground state to a much higher energy level, which requires absorbing a photon with a larger amount of energy compared to transitions between higher energy levels.
