Question

Energy levels A, B, C of a certain atom corresponding to increasing values of energy i.e. EA<EB<EC. If λ1,λ2,λ3 the wavelengths of radiations corresponding to the
transitions C to B, B to A and C to A, respectively, which of the following statements is correct

Moderate
Solution

Let the energy in A, B and C state be EA, EB and EC, then from the figure

ECEB+EBEA=ECEA  hcλ1+hcλ2=hcλ3 λ3=λ1λ2λ1+λ2
