One of the visible lines in the hydrogen emission spectrum corresponds to the $n=6$ to $n=2$ electronic transition. What color light is this transition? See Exercise 150 .
Of the four lines in the hydrogen line spectrum, which transition results in the emission of light with the lowest frequency? n = 3 → n = 2 n = 6 → n = 2 n = 5 → n = 2 n = 4 → n = 2

Upon electrification, hydrogen produces a line spectrum with the following lines in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. If the light emitted corresponds to transitions from the third (n = 3), fourth (n = 4), fifth (n = 5), or sixth (n = 6) energy level down to the second (n = 2), which transition corresponds to the emission of light with highest energy? Color Wavelength (λ ), nm Violet 410 Indigo 434 Blue-green 486 Red 656 n = 6 → n = 3 n = 4 → n = 2 n = 3 → n = 2 n = 2 → n = 3 n = 2 → n = 6
