I understand why D is correct but if an electron moves from n=2 to n=3 doesn't that mean an electron was emitted to to the n=3 orbital? That was my reasoning for B.
in case it's too small..Question says, " The Energy, E, of a hydrogen atom with its electron in the nth shell of a hydrogen atom is given by E = -C/n^2 where n=1,2,3... and C is a positive constant. if an electron goes from the n=2 to n=3 shell:
