Answer
Energy is absorbed in this transition.
Work Step by Step
Just remember that:
- Energy must be absorbed to move an electron from a lower state (lower energy) to a higher state (higher energy).
- Energy would be emitted as an electron moves from a higher state (higher energy) to a lower state (lower energy).
Moving from n = 2 to n = 6 means moving from a lower state to a higher state.
Therefore, energy would be absorbed.
