Consider these two cases.

Case $1$: An electron jumps from energy level $5$ to energy level $2$ in an atom.

Case $2$: An electron jumps from energy level $5$ to energy level $1$ in an atom.

For case $1,$ what happens when an electron jumps from energy level $5$ to energy level $2$ in an ator

A photon is emitted by the atom.

A photon is absorbed by the atom.

A proton is absorbed by the atom.

A proton is emitted by the atom.

Assuming that both cases describe Hydrogen$-$like atoms with one electron, for which case is mor or absorbed$?$

The energy is the same for both cases.

It is impossible to tell.

More energy is emitted or absorbed for case $1.$

More energy is emitted or absorbed for case $2.$
