Question 21M.1.SL.TZ2.26

The diagram below shows four energy levels for the atoms of a gas. The diagram is drawn to scale. The wavelengths of the photons emitted by the energy transitions between levels are shown.

What are the wavelengths of spectral lines, emitted by the gas, in order of decreasing frequency?

A.  ${\lambda }_3, {\lambda }_2, {\lambda }_1, {\lambda }_4$

B.  ${\lambda }_4, {\lambda }_1, {\lambda }_2, {\lambda }_3$

C.  ${\lambda }_4, {\lambda }_3, {\lambda }_2, {\lambda }_1$

D.  ${\lambda }_4, {\lambda }_2, {\lambda }_1, {\lambda }_3$
