Δe = Hcr (−) 1 N 1 N

This document analyzes the energy of photons emitted during an electron transition between quantum energy levels in an atom. It defines an equation to calculate the energy difference between levels and plots the results of applying this equation for transitions where the initial level is varied from 1 to 3 and the final level ranges from 2 to 13. The plots show the energy converges around 13.5 eV for an initial level of 1, 3.32 eV for an initial level of 2, and 1.43 eV for an initial level of 3. These energies correspond to wavelengths of approximately 91nm, 370nm, and 820nm, respectively.
