T TheDude Member May 17, 2010 #1 Electron transition that is. I am thinking the further the "jump", the higher the energy and hence the shorter wavelength, so n4 to n1 has the shortest wavelength, and n4 to n3 has the longest wavelength! Am I thinking right?

A Alvin Member May 17, 2010 #2 E= hc/lambda wavelength = hc/E hc are constants and E is energy in electron volts if E gets bigger, wavelength gets smaller and viceversa n4-n1 has more energy than n4-n3 so I think you are right!
