An electron in a hydrogen atom transitions from energy level n=3n = 3n=3 to n=1n = 1n=1. Given that the energy of the electron in the nnnth level is En=−13.6 eVn2E_n = -\frac{13.6 \text{ eV}}{n^2}En​=−n213.6 eV​, calculate the energy of the emitted photon.

Consider a hypothetical atom with three energy levels: E1=−10 eVE_1 = -10 \text{ eV}E1​=−10 eV, E2=−5 eVE_2 = -5 \text{ eV}E2​=−5 eV, and E3=−2 eVE_3 = -2 \text{ eV}E3​=−2 eV. An electron can transition between any two levels. Which transition will result in the emission of a photon with the shortest wavelength?
