When an electron transfers between levels in an atom, the wavelength of an emitted or absorbed photon depends only on the energy of the level from which the electron transfers.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The wavelength of an emitted or absorbed photon depends on the difference in energy between the two levels involved in the electron transfer, not just the energy of the level from which the electron transfers.
