Question

Light is emitted by electrons when they drop from one energy level to a lower level. Which transition results in the emission of light with the greatest energy?

Answer 1

Answer:

Level 4 to level 2

Explanation:

Electrons in an atom are contained in specific energy levels (1, 2, 3, and so on) having different distances from the nucleus. When light is emitted by electrons from one energy level to a lower level, level 4 to level 2 has the greatest energy.

Hence, the correct option is "Level 4 to level 2".
