Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The n = 8 to n = 2 transition in the Bohr hydrogen atom corresponds to an electron moving from a higher energy level to a lower energy level. This transition results in the emission of a photon with a wavelength in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum. So, the best choice is E, ultraviolet.
