Energy levels of the hypothetical atom.
Energy levels of the hypothetical atom.
An energy-level diagram for a hypothetical atom is shown, with energy values labeled in electron-volts (\(\text{eV}\)). A sample of gas containing these atoms is excited and emits light as the electrons transition between energy levels. One prominent line in the emission spectrum corresponds to a photon with a wavelength of \(\lambda = 413 \text{ nm}\). Which transition between energy levels accounts for the emission of this photon?
