Help please ASAP!!!

Electron A falls from energy level X to energy level Y and releases blue light. Electron B falls from energy level Y to energy level Z and releases red light. Which transition, from X to Y or from Y to Z, has a greater energy difference? Explain your answer and how you arrived at it. Use a diagram of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Respuesta :

Since, E = hf, the transition that releases the highest frequency light will have the greater energy difference.

Blue light has a higher frequency than red light so the transition from X to Y has the greater energy difference.
