Question

A. n=1 to n=2

B. n=2 to n=1

C. n=2 to n=3

Answer 2

B

answers A and C do not emit photons as they represent movement from lower to higher energy states.

answer D produces a photon of higher energy because the higher the ring the higher the energy.

B is movement from the second lowest energy to the lowest.
