According to energy, E4→1 >E3→1>E2→1>E3→2 According to energy, Violet > Blue > Green > Red. ∴ Red line ⇒ 3 →2 transition.

Q. Suppose that a hypothetical atom gives a red, green, blue and violet line spectrum. Which jump according to figure would give off the red spectral line

$3 \to 1$

$2 \to 1$

$4 \to 1$

$3 \to 2$

According to energy, $E_{4 \to 1} > E_{3 \to 1} > E_{2 \to 1} > E_{3 \to 2}$ According to energy, Violet > Blue > Green > Red.
$∴$ Red line $\Rightarrow 3 \to 2$ transition.
