We’re being asked to determine the value of n for the electron following the emission
Emission is a transition process from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.
An electron in a hydrogen atom is excited with electrical energy to an excited state with n = 2. The atom then emits a photon. What is the value of n for the electron following the emission?
