Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Light emitted by an atom making transition from higher energy state to low energy state has a frequency directly proportional to the energy change in electron.

Energy associated with atom is given by


E=h\\u


E=Energy\ of\ electron


h=Planck's\ constant


\\u =Frequency

Change in Energy is
\Delta E=h(\\u _2-\\u _1)
