....which color represents electrons undergoing the lesser energy jump between orbits within the atoms of gas?
-
The lesser energy jump produces photons of lower frequency and thus longer
wavelength. Higher energy produces photons of shorter wavelength.
Red light has longer wavelength (about 650 nm.) than blue light (about 460 nm.)
so the red line represents electrons with the lesser energy jump.
