The following diagram indicates the energy levels of a certain atom. When the system moves from the $4E$ level to the $E$ level,a photon of wavelength ${\lambda _1}$ is emitted. The wavelength of the photon produced during its transition from the $\frac{7}{3}E$ level to the $E$ level is ${\lambda _2}$. The ratio $\frac{{{\lambda _1}}}{{{\lambda _2}}}$ will be:

  • A
    $\frac{9}{4}$
  • B
    $\frac{4}{9}$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{7}{3}$
