E)there is a vacancy in an inner level in the atom.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is known as the correspondence principle, which states that the behavior of quantum systems must agree with the behavior of classical systems in the limit of large quantum numbers. The difference in energy between adjacent quantized levels becomes vanishingly small as quantum numbers become large, allowing classical physics to emerge.
