First, calculate the energy of the photon by using the wave length and then see which the energy differences between electon levels. If it is equal, then it is the right transition
The energy of a photon is proportional to its frequency

∙ 10y agoIf you can measure the amount of light emitted by an atom, you can determine its energy levels using the formula E=h(nu). Planck's Constant is "h", or 6.62606957 (10^-34). The atom's light frequency is "nu".

Which of the following is TRUE about a Departmental Accountable Officials?
They provide assistance to Certifying Officers.
What happens when a 3s electron becomes a 2s electron?
Any electron is not fixed to any sub-shell or orbital. If you provide sufficient energy to an electron, it would make transition to any of the higher energy orbitals and then come back to the lower orbitals radiating energy.
Why is chlorine very reactive and argon isn't?
Chlorine does not have a full set of valence electrons (it has 7) while argon does (it has 8). Chlorine will participate in chemical reactions that provide it with this eighth electron.

Which of the following correctly explains how energy is emitted when an atom returns to the ground state?
There is insufficient information in the question to properly answer it. You did not provide the list of "the following". In general, however, if it is the nucleus that returns to ground state, then gamma ray emission is the mechanism. It it is the electron cloud the returns to ground state, then x-ray emission is the mechanism. The end result is the same - a photon is emitted with a certain energy - only the mechanism differs.
What is the function of the blue filter in a compound microscope?
Blue wavelengths provide better resolution.
What colors provide the most energy for plants?
The wavelengths of light that contain the most energy that plants can use are blue.
What is a pseudo-noble gas?
Although the formation of an octet is the most stable electron configuration, other electron configurations provide stability. These relatively stable electron arrangements are referred to a pseudo-noble gas configuration.

How does the electromagnetic spectrum provide information about the location of black holes?
When an observer points his radio telescope onto an area in the skies which is supposed to contain a black hole, received signal will be carrying information mostly about X-rays (part of spectrum beyond visible violet color) which are emitted when that black hole consumes matter.
