` lambda_(3)=lambda_(1)+lambda_(2)`

B

`lambda_(3)=(lambda_(1)lambda_(2))/(lambda_(1)+lambda_(2))`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the energy transitions between the energy levels A, B, and C of a certain atom. The energy levels are given as \(E_A < E_B < E_C\). We need to find the relationship between the wavelengths of the radiation corresponding to the transitions from C to B, B to A, and C to A. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Energy Levels**: - We have three energy levels: A, B, and C. - The energy values are ordered as \(E_A < E_B < E_C\). 2. **Define the Wavelengths**: - Let \(\lambda_1\) be the wavelength for the transition from C to B. - Let \(\lambda_2\) be the wavelength for the transition from B to A. - Let \(\lambda_3\) be the wavelength for the transition from C to A. 3. **Use the Energy-Wavelength Relationship**: - The energy of a photon is related to its wavelength by the equation: \[ E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \] - Where \(h\) is Planck's constant and \(c\) is the speed of light. 4. **Calculate the Energy Differences**: - The energy difference for the transition from C to B is: \[ E_{C \to B} = E_C - E_B \] - The energy difference for the transition from B to A is: \[ E_{B \to A} = E_B - E_A \] - The energy difference for the transition from C to A is: \[ E_{C \to A} = E_C - E_A \] 5. **Express Wavelengths in Terms of Energy**: - From the energy-wavelength relationship, we can express the wavelengths as: \[ \lambda_1 = \frac{hc}{E_C - E_B} \] \[ \lambda_2 = \frac{hc}{E_B - E_A} \] \[ \lambda_3 = \frac{hc}{E_C - E_A} \] 6. **Relate the Wavelengths**: - The total energy difference from C to A can also be expressed as the sum of the energy differences from C to B and B to A: \[ E_{C \to A} = E_{C \to B} + E_{B \to A} \] - In terms of wavelengths, this gives us: \[ \frac{hc}{\lambda_3} = \frac{hc}{\lambda_1} + \frac{hc}{\lambda_2} \] - Cancelling \(hc\) from both sides, we have: \[ \frac{1}{\lambda_3} = \frac{1}{\lambda_1} + \frac{1}{\lambda_2} \] 7. **Final Relationship**: - Rearranging gives us the final relationship: \[ \lambda_3 = \frac{\lambda_1 \lambda_2}{\lambda_1 + \lambda_2} \] ### Conclusion: The correct option is that the relationship between the wavelengths is: \[ \lambda_3 = \frac{\lambda_1 \lambda_2}{\lambda_1 + \lambda_2} \]
