Of the following transitions in the Bohr hydrogen atom, the __________ transition results in the emission of the highest-energy photon.
A)n = 1 → n = 6
B)n = 6 → n = 1
C)n = 6 → n = 3
D)n = 3 → n = 6
E)n = 1 → n = 4

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The highest-energy photon is emitted during the transition from the highest energy level (n=6) to the lowest energy level (n=1). Therefore, option B (n=6 → n=1) is the correct choice.
