The following diagram schematically represents the energy levels of
electrons in an atom with larger circles representing orbits of higher
energy, and the distance between circles representing the differences
in electron energies.
If one considered the electron transitions C-to-B and B-to-A,
A) the emission line
arising from C-B would be bluer than that from B-to-A
B) the emission line
arising from C-B would be redder than that from B-to-A
C) both emission
lines would have the same color since they come from the same atom
D) neither transition
would result in an emission line
