Question

2. Electron A falls from energy level X to energy level Y and releases blue light. Electron B falls from energy level Y to energy level Z and releases red light. Which transition, from X to Y or from Y to Z, has a greater energy difference? Explain your answer and how you arrived at it. Use a diagram of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Answer 1

blue light has more energy (lower wavelength, higher frequency)

so re-read the problem, which one, X->Y or Y->Z, emits blue light and thus has the greater energy?

Answer 2

oh wow thank you !
