which color of light comes from the bigger electron energy transition, red or blue?



the red light has a longer wavelength  to the blue light,  meaning it has  lower frequency, while the lue light has the shorter wavelength meaning having the higher frequency,  from the ENERGY EQUATION E = hf = E =HV/λ, Meaning , energy is inversely proportional to wavelength, the longer the wavelength the lesser the energy, therefore since blue light has the shorter wavelength, its energy will be larger than that of red light and consequently the color that wil result from the bigger electron energy transition will be blue.
