Suppose hydrogen atoms absorb energy so that electrons are excited to the n = 7 energy level.

Question:

Suppose hydrogen atoms absorb energy so that electrons are excited to the n = 7 energy level. Electrons then undergo these transitions, among others: 

(a) n = 7→ n = 1; 

(b) n = 7 → n = 6; and 

(c) n = 2 → n = 1.

Which of these transitions produces a photon with 

(i) The smallest energy,

(ii) The highest frequency, and 

(iii) The shortest wavelength?
