Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The energy of an emitted photon is equal to the difference in energy between the initial and final levels ().In the provided diagram:Transition I: Transition II: Transition III: (Largest jump)Transition IV: The transition from the highest level shown () to the lowest level () represents the maximum energy difference. Thus, Transition III represents the emission of a photon with the most energy.
