Energy increases as the atomic shell number n increases, in general. So a transition from n=6 to n=3 would result in a release in energy.

Transitions to a lower state releases energy.

Released, it is moving from a higher to a lower energy level.

ENERGY IS BEING ABSORBED BECAUSE OF THE QUANTUM RATIO
