B) it has many stars bursting out of its disk toward intergalactic space.
C) it is forming stars so fast that the starburst phase of life must be temporary.
D) it contains so many stars that the galaxy's gravity cannot retain them in their orbits.

Refer to the figure above. Suppose that an electron makes a transition from n = 3 to n = 2 and emits a photon of frequency 4 × 1014 Hz. Then an electron that makes a transition from n = 3 to n = 1 may emit a photon with a frequency of
1) 1 × 1014 Hz, 2) 3 × 1014 Hz, 3) 4 × 1014 Hz, 4) 9 × 1014 Hz, which is consistent with emission of the most energetic photon from a transition from n = 3 to 5) n = 1. 6) n = 2. 7) either, as both transitions are equivalent.
