    The electron that emits purple photon has either moved from a higher energy level or to a lower energy level than the electron that emits a red photon.

    A purple photon is of higher energy than a red one. So, there must have been a greater energy gap between the initial and final energy levels for the electron emitting the higher energy photon.
