When an electron in an atom makes a transition from n = 6 to n = 4, which of the following statements is/are correct? I. Energy is emitted. II. Energy is absorbed. III. The electron loses energy. IV. The electron gains energy. V. The electron cannot make this transition.

Which transition involves the emission of less energy in the $\mathrm{H}$ atom, an electron moving from $n=4$ to $n=3$ or an electron moving from $n=3$ to $n=1 ?$ (See Figure $5.10 .)$
Considering the three electronic transitions $n=2 \rightarrow$ $n=1, n=3 \rightarrow n=2$ and $n=4 \rightarrow n=3$ for the hydrogen at which one of the following is true. (1) The photon emitted in the transition $n=4$ to $n=3$ would have the longest wavelength. (2) The photon emitted in the transition $n=2$ to $n=1$ would have the longest wavelength. (3) The transition from $n=3$ to $n=1$ is forbidden. (4) The electron does not experience any change in orbit radius for any of these transitions.
