If $\lambda_1$ is the wavelength of the series limit of the Lyman series,$\lambda_2$ is the wavelength of the first line of the Lyman series,and $\lambda_3$ is the series limit of the Balmer series,then the relation between $\lambda_1, \lambda_2,$ and $\lambda_3$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{\lambda_1} - \frac{1}{\lambda_2} = \frac{1}{\lambda_3}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{\lambda_1} = \frac{1}{\lambda_2} - \frac{1}{\lambda_3}$
  • C
    $\lambda_2 = \lambda_1 + \lambda_3$
  • D
    $\lambda_1 = \lambda_2 + \lambda_3$
