It requires calculating the energy difference between the first excited state and the ground state to find the energy of the emitted photon during the transition. The energy levels of a quantum harmonic oscillator are quantized, and the energy of the photon corresponds to the difference in energy between these two states. The correct answer, based on the calculations, is 1.99 x 10^-20 J."}
