a. Violet has the greatest energy. Red has the least energy.
Explicación
The question is asking about the energy of light in the visible spectrum of hydrogen. The visible spectrum of light is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye. It ranges from red to violet. The energy of light is directly proportional to its frequency, and frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength. Therefore, light with a shorter wavelength has a higher frequency and thus higher energy. In the visible spectrum, violet light has the shortest wavelength and therefore the highest energy, while red light has the longest wavelength and therefore the lowest energy.
