When using the equations v=-R(1/n2 - 1/n2) or E= -hR/n2, the final answer for energy is negative if the electron is descending in energy levels. If negative energy is energy lost, where does it go?

Re: Negative Energy
The negative energy when the electron is descending is the energy it's emitting as a photon.
