In TBR gen chem, in the chapter about atomic theory, on page 66, a figure is given showing electronic energy levels, such as this one

In the example question, it asks "how would the photon from an n=4 to n=2 transition compare to the photon from a n=2 to n=1 transition?"
The answer was that the n=2 to n=1 transition is more than twice as energetic as the n=4 to n=2 transition.
I sort of understand this based on the...
