D)Transition 4 
E)Transition 5

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transition 5 would absorb a photon with the smallest energy because it involves the smallest change in energy levels compared to the other transitions. The energy of a photon absorbed or emitted during a transition is directly proportional to the difference in energy levels involved in the transition.
