The energy-level ladder of a hydrogen-like atom on a diagram (NCERT XII Fig. 12.8), to scale: the levels n = 1 to n_max with E_n in eV, n = ∞ dashed at 0. Then any number of words: a series name ("lyman", "balmer", "paschen", "brackett", "pfund") draws its arrows down to its lower level up to n_max, "all" the first three, and a transition "4-2" one arrow labelled with λ and ΔE; the arrows are inked by region (the visible lines in their own colour). energyLevelsOn(d, n_max[, Z][, words...]).
