Energy levels are the electron shells where electrons are found at a fixed distance from the nucleus of the atom. The atom could emit 6 different wavelengths.
<h3>What is wavelength?</h3>
A wavelength is a distance between the adjacent crests in wave signals propagated in a system. Wavelength is in inverse relation to the frequency of the wave.
When an electron jumps from energy level 1 to 2, 1 to 3, and 1 to 4 one wavelength each is present. Hence, making the total wavelength to be 3, in transition from the first energy level.
Similarly, from energy levels, 2 to 3 and 2 to 4, a total of 2 wavelengths, and from energy levels 3 to 4 one wavelength is produced.
So the total different wavelengths of the radiation that can be emitted will be 3 + 2 + 1 = 6.
Therefore, 6 different wavelengths of radiation will be emitted by the atom.
