Question

Which energy-level change shown in the diagram below emits the highest energy?

Answer 1

Can someone help me understand this question? Wouldn't the answer be from 6 to 5 since that is the least distance traveled?

Here are answer choices:
an electron moving from E5 to E1
an electron moving from E6 to E5
an electron moving from E2 to E1
an electron moving from E2 to E4

Answer 2

they're asking for \(\color{red}{highest}\) energy. Greater distance = greater energy.
