Part of the energy level diagram of a certain atom is shown below.The energy spacing between levels 1 and 2 is twice that between 2 and 3.If an electron makes a transition from level 3 to level 2,the radiation of wavelength λ is emitted. What possible radiation wavelengths might be produced by other transitions between the three energy levels?
A)both λ/2 and λ/3
B)only λ/2
C)both 2λ and 3λ
D)only 2λ
