Problem

Which of the following statements best describes the relationship between the energy difference

\Delta E

of two atomic states and the frequency

f

of a photon emitted when an electron transitions between those states? a)

f \propto \sqrt{\Delta E}

f

is independent of

\Delta E

and depends only on the atomic number c)

f \propto \Delta E

f \propto \dfrac{1}{\Delta E}
