Ist transition is showing absorption of a photon. From rest of three transitions, III is having maximum energy from level n = 2 to n = 1 Δ E propto ((1/n12) - (1/n22))

$I^{s t}$ transition is showing absorption of a photon. From rest of three transitions, $III$ is having maximum energy from level $n = 2$ to $n = 1$
$Δ E \propto (\frac{1}{n _{1}^{2}} - \frac{1}{n _{2}^{2}})$
