In which of the following energy level transitions for a hydrogen atom is a photon emitted?
A)n = 1 to n = 2
B)n = 3 to n = 2
C)n = 2 to n = 1
D)n = 1 to n = 4
E)n = 4 to n = 3

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A photon is emitted when an electron transitions from a higher energy level to a lower one, releasing energy. This occurs in transitions B (n = 3 to n = 2), C (n = 2 to n = 1), and E (n = 4 to n = 3).
