Which of the following electron transitions would be expected to emit any light in the Bohr model of the atom?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the Bohr model, when an electron transitions from a higher energy level to a lower energy level (such as n = 3 to n = 1), it emits a photon of light with a specific energy and frequency, according to the equation E = hf. This emitted photon can be observed as visible light or other wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation. Transitions from higher energy levels to lower energy levels emit light, while transitions from lower energy levels to higher energy levels absorb light. Therefore, option B (n = 3 to n = 1) would be expected to emit light.
