Question

In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, electrons are confined to orbits with fixed radii, and
those radii can be calculated.
(a) If an electron makes a transition from the n₁ =4 level to a lower-energy level, nf = 3, 2,
or 1, which transition would produce a photon with the shortest wavelength?
(b) What are the energy and wavelength of such a photon, and in which region of the
electromagnetic spectrum does it lie?
