Question

When a spectral tube containing gas from a particular element is excited by applying high voltage, the spectrum shown above is observed (the spectrum shows the energies of particular photons that are emitted by the gas). Which of the following sets of electron energy levels are consistent with this spectrum? Select all that apply. Note that the spectrum only shows photons in the visible spectrum - there may be more photons emitted that are in the infrared or ultraviolet, which we can't see.
