Energy levels A, B and C of a certain atom corresponding to increasing values of energy i.e. EA < EB < EC. If 1, 2 and 3 are wavelengths of radioations corresponding to transitions C to B, B to A and C to A respectively, which of the following relations is correct?
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B

$ \therefore $ (EC – EB) + (EB – EA) = (EC – EA)
$ \Rightarrow $ $${{hc} \over {{\lambda _3}}} = {{hc} \over {{\lambda _1}}} + {{hc} \over {{\lambda _2}}}$$
$ \Rightarrow $ $${\lambda _3} = {{{\lambda _1}{\lambda _2}} \over {{\lambda _1} + {\lambda _2}}}$$
