Which statement about the energy of a photon released is accurate?

The correct assertion is that the energy of a photon released equals the energy difference between electron states. When an electron transitions from a higher energy level to a lower energy level within an atom, it releases energy in the form of a photon. The energy of this emitted photon is directly proportional to the difference in energy between the two electron states involved in the transition. This relationship is described by the equation:

[ E = h\nu ]

where (E) is the energy of the photon, (h) is Planck's constant, and (\nu) (nu) is the frequency of the emitted photon. Since energy levels in atoms are quantized, the emitted photon carries a specific energy that matches the energy difference between the two quantum states.

The other statements do not accurately reflect the nature of photon emission related to electron transitions. For instance, the idea that the energy of a photon remains constant regardless of electron movement is not true, as the energy is indeed tied to the specific transitions between quantized energy states. Similarly, while the initial energy of the electron plays a role in determining the final transition state, it is the difference between energy levels that dictates the energy of the released photon. Finally, the energy of a photon
