What is the relationship between the light emitted by an atom and the energies of the electrons in the atom?

A. The light emitted by an atom is a function of its nuclear density and its ability to absorb and reflect various wavelengths of light from the electromagnetic spectrum.
B. The greater the frequency of a photon of light, the greater the energy packed into that photon.
C. The larger the atom, the greater the number of electrons and therefore the greater the frequency of a light.
D. The energies of the electrons of an atom are directly proportional to the wavelength of light emitted and therefore inversely proportional to the frequency of the light emitted.
