Title: Photon with greatest energy.
Post by: IceRiceIce on October 07, 2020, 06:57:03 PM

Which of the following transitions would produce a photon with the greatest energy? Why?
A) n = 1 → n = 5
B) n = 4 → n = 3
C) n = 5 → n = 2
D) n = 3 → n = 4

I don't even know where to start with this so if someone could explain this it would be helpful.

Do you know Rydberg formula?
