Knowing the properties of $H_{2}O$ and $D_{2}O$,do you think that $D_{2}O$ can be used for drinking purposes?
(N/A) Heavy water,$D_{2}O$,acts as a moderator,which means it slows down the rate of chemical reactions. Due to this property,$D_{2}O$ cannot be used for drinking purposes. Consuming it would slow down the essential anabolic and catabolic metabolic reactions occurring in the human body,which could lead to severe health complications or even death.

The following diagram indicates the energy levels of a certain atom. When the system moves from the $4E$ level to the $E$ level, a photon of wavelength $\lambda_1$ is emitted. The wavelength of the photon produced during its transition from the $\frac{7}{3}E$ level to the $E$ level is $\lambda_2$. The ratio $\frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2}$ will be:
