What is an emission line?

  • A
    $A$ line produced when an electron absorbs energy.
  • B
    $A$ line produced when an electron transitions from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.
  • C
    $A$ line produced by the continuous spectrum of a black body.
  • D
    $A$ line produced when an electron is removed from an atom.

The following diagram indicates the energy levels of a certain atom. When the system moves from the $4E$ level to the $E$ level,a photon of wavelength ${\lambda _1}$ is emitted. The wavelength of the photon produced during its transition from the $\frac{7}{3}E$ level to the $E$ level is ${\lambda _2}$. The ratio $\frac{{{\lambda _1}}}{{{\lambda _2}}}$ will be:

Some of the wavelengths observed in the emission spectrum of neutral hydrogen gas are $912, 1026, 1216, 3646, 6563 \, \mathring{A}$. If broadband light is passing through neutral hydrogen gas at room temperature,then the wavelength that will not be absorbed strongly is .................. $\mathring{A}$.
