To excite the spectral line of wavelength $4960 \mathring A$ of an atom, an excitation energy of $7.7 \text{ eV}$ is required. The ground state energy of the atom is $10.5 \text{ eV}$. The energies of the two levels involved in the emission of the $4960 \mathring A$ line are (Assume $hc = 1240 \text{ eV nm}$, where $h$ is Planck's constant and $c$ is the speed of light).

  • A
    $14.2 \text{ eV}, 16.1 \text{ eV}$
  • B
    $12.2 \text{ eV}, 18.2 \text{ eV}$
  • C
    $15.7 \text{ eV}, 20.5 \text{ eV}$
  • D
    $15.7 \text{ eV}, 18.2 \text{ eV}$
