Which statement is true about the ground state (original energy level) and the excited state of an electron?

• The ground state is the highest energy level of an electron.

• The excited state is the lowest energy level of an electron.

• The ground state is the lowest energy level of an electron.

• When an electron goes from the ground state to an excited state it releases light energy.

As the wavelength of light increases

• the frequency increases.
• the speed of light increases.
• the energy decreases.
• the intensity increases.
