Three energy levels of a hydrogen atom and the corresponding wavelengths of the emitted radiation due to different electron transitions are as shown. Then,

  • A
    $\lambda_3=\frac{\lambda_1 \lambda_2}{\lambda_1+\lambda_2}$
  • B
    $\lambda_1=\frac{\lambda_2 \lambda_3}{\lambda_2+\lambda_3}$
  • C
    $\lambda_2=\lambda_1+\lambda_3$
  • D
    $\lambda_2=\frac{\lambda_1 \lambda_3}{\lambda_1+\lambda_3}$
