Emitted photon energy versus initial quantum level for transitions to the ground state.
Emitted photon energy versus initial quantum level for transitions to the ground state.
An isolated hydrogen atom emits a photon when an electron transitions from an initial energy state with principal quantum number \(n\) to the ground state (\(n=1\)). The graph shows the energy of the emitted photon, \(E_{\text{photon}}\), as a function of the initial quantum number \(n\).

Which of the following statements correctly interprets a feature of the graph in terms of physical quantities?
