On average, an electron in the n = 3 level is farther from the nucleus than an electron in the n = 2 state. c. The wavelength of light emitted when the electron goes from the n = 3 level to the n 1 level is the same as the wavelength of light absorbed when the electron goes from the n = n= 3 level. d. An electron in the n = 1 level is higher in energy than an electron in the n = 4 level. e. Light of greater frequency is required for a transition from the n = 1 level to n = 3 level than is required for a transition from the n = 2 level to n = 3 level.
