  1. A n = 4 to n = 2
  2. B n = 3 to n = 1
  3. C n = 4 to n = 1
  4. D n = 3 to n = 2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) n = 4 to n = 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(E = \frac{hc}{\lambda e}\) \(E = \frac{(6.63 \times 10^{-34} \text{ Js}) \times (3 \times 10^8 \text{ m/s})}{(4870 \times 10^{-10} \text{ m}) \times (1.602 \times 10^{-19} \text{ J/eV})}\) \(E \approx 2.55 \, \text{eV}\)…
