Energy levels $A, B, C$ 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 the transitions $C$ to $B$,$B$ to $A$ and $C$ to $A$ respectively,which of the following statements 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
    $\lambda_3^2 = \lambda_1^2 + \lambda_2^2$
