Answer:

makes a transition from a high to a lower energy state

Step-by-step explanation:

The emission spectrum is the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation emitted due to the transition from a state of high energy to a state of lower energy made by an electron in the atoms of the chemical element or compound. The emitted photons have an energy equal to the difference in energy between the two states.
