Question

The electron in a hydrogen atom jumps back from an excited state to ground state, by emitting a photon of wavelength λ0 = where R is Rydberg’s constant. In place of emitting one photon, the electron could come back to ground state by 

Options

A. Emitting 3 photons of wavelength λ1, λ2 and λ3 such that
B. Emitting 2 photons of wavelength λ1, and λ2 such that
C. Emitting 2 photons of wavelength λ1, and λ2 such that λ1, + λ2 =
D. Emitting 3 photons of wavelength λ1, λ2 and λ3 such that λ1, + λ2 + λ3 =
