According to the quantum-mechanical model for the hydrogen atom, which of the following transitions would produce light with longer wavelength: 3p to 2s or 4p to 2s?
A) The 3p to 2s transition would produce light with longer wavelength.
B) The 4p to 2s transition would produce light with longer wavelength.

    The longer the wavelength the less energy it has. To go from a 4p to 2s it requires a lot more energy than going from 3p to 2s. The longer wavelength will be created by the electron transition from 3p to 2s.
