The wavelength of the photon is determined by the amount of energy released, with higher amounts ofenergy resulting in photons with shorter wavelengths. When an electron “drops” to a lower energy level, that electron ends up with lessenergy than it had originally.

Answer:

The energy of the photon is the same as the energy lost by the electron
