The diagram shows different transitions across the energy levels for an electron in a certain atom. Among these,which transition represents the emission of a photon with the most energy?

The ratio of energies of photons produced due to transition of an electron in a hydrogen atom from the second energy level to the first energy level and from the fifth energy level to the second energy level is:

The wavelength of the radiation emitted is $\lambda_0$ when an electron jumps from the second excited state to the first excited state of a hydrogen atom. If the electron jumps from the third excited state to the second orbit of the hydrogen atom,the wavelength of the radiation emitted will be $\frac{20}{x} \lambda_0$. The value of $x$ is $........$

The diagram shows the lowest four energy levels for an electron in a hypothetical atom. The electron is excited to the $-1\, eV$ level and transitions to the lowest energy state by emitting exactly two photons. Which of the following energies could not belong to either of the photons (in $, eV$)?

Energy levels $A$,$B$ and $C$ of a certain atom correspond to increasing values of energy,i.e.,$E_A < E_B < E_C$. If $\lambda_1$,$\lambda_2$,and $\lambda_3$ are the wavelengths of the photons corresponding to the transitions shown in the figure,then:
