Question:

Photon P in Figure Q28.35 moves an electron from energy level \(n=1\) to energy level \(n=3\). The electron jumps down to \(n=2\), emitting photon \(\mathrm{Q}\), and then jumps down to \(n=1\), emitting photon \(\mathrm{R}\). The spacing between energy levels is drawn to scale. What is the correct relationship among the wavelengths of the photons?

A. \(\lambda_{\mathrm{P}}<\lambda_{\mathrm{Q}}<\lambda_{\mathrm{R}}\)

B. \(\lambda_{\mathrm{R}}<\lambda_{\mathrm{P}}<\lambda_{\mathrm{Q}}\)

C. \(\lambda_{\mathrm{Q}}<\lambda_{\mathrm{P}}<\lambda_{\mathrm{R}}\)

D. \(\lambda_{\mathrm{R}}<\lambda_{\mathrm{Q}}<\lambda_{\mathrm{P}}\)
