The transition that produced red light was caused by an electron jumping the shortest distance.

Visible light is made up of seven wavelengths the magnitude of the wavelength of a transition reflects the energy associated with such transition. The longer the wavelength shorter the transition that produced it.

Given that three lines in the visible spectrum produced three lines as follows;

Red - 625 - 740 nm

Yellow - 565 - 590 nm

Blue - 445 - 520 nm

We can see that the longest wavelength corresponds to red light hence it was caused by an electron jumping the shortest distance.

Answer:

No, there won't be a collision.

Explanation:

We will use the constant acceleration formulas to calculate,

v = u + a*t

0 = 25 + (-0.1)*t

t = 250 seconds (the time taken for the passenger train to stop)

v^2 = u^2 + 2*a*s

0 = (25)^2  + 2*(-0.1)*s

s = 3125 m (distance traveled by passenger train to stop)

If the distance traveled by freight train in 250 seconds is less than (3125-200=2925 m) than the collision will occur

Speed*time = distance

Distance = (15)*(250)

Distance = 3750 m

As the distance is way more, there won’t be a collision
