This diagram depicts the energies of a few shells (energy levels) for the atom that produced the spectrum above. Image Description Diagram of five lines to represent energy levels drawn horizontally. N=1 is at the bottom and n=5 is at the top. Starting from the top, the line n=5 is shown. Moving downward, there is a small gap between the lines n=5 and n=4, a slightly larger gap between n=4 and n=3, an even larger gap between n=3 and n=2, and a very large gap is shown between n=2 and n=1. Which of the following situations would cause the atom to emit the highest frequency photon?
