Energy levels $A, B$ and $C$ of a certain atom correspond to increasing values of energy, i.e. $E_A < E_B < E_C$ . If $\lambda _1, \lambda _2$ and $\lambda _3$ are the wavelengths of radiations corresponding to transitions $C$ to $B, B$ to $A$ and $C$ to $A$ respectively , which of the following relations is correct ?

 

  • A

    ${\lambda _3} = {\lambda _1} + {\lambda _2}$

  • B

    ${\lambda _3} = \frac{{{\lambda _1}{\lambda _2}}}{{{\lambda _1} + {\lambda _2}}}$

  • C

    ${\lambda _1} + {\lambda _2} + {\lambda _3} = 0$

  • D

    ${\lambda _3}^2 = {\lambda _1}^2 + {\lambda _2}^2$
