How does the energy of a principal energy level depend on the value of n? Does a higher value of n mean a higher or lower energy?
  1. The lower the value of the principal energy level, n, the higher the energy of the principal energy level.
  2. The higher the value of the principal energy level, n, the higher the energy of the principal energy level.
  3. The lower the value of the principal energy level, n, the lower the energy of the principal energy level.
  4. The higher the value of the principal energy level, n, the lower the energy of the principal energy level.
