Two electrons are placed into separate (very tiny) one-dimensional boxes A and B. When the electrons are excited to higher energy levels and then decay to lower levels, they emit photons. The longest-wavelength spectral line from the electron in box A is observed to have the same wavelength as the third-longest spectral line from the electron in box B. The ratio of the box lengths LA/LB is equal to

A. 3/7
B. 7/3

D.
E. 9/49
