Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\frac{1}{1}, \frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{5}, \ldots\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Given \(T\) to \(C\,\, 1.5 m\)
\(C\) to \(C\, 5 m\)
\(T\) to \(C =\left(2 n _{1}+1\right) \frac{\lambda}{2}\)
\(C\) to \(C = n _{2} \lambda\)
\(\frac{1.5}{5}=\frac{\left(2 n _{1}+1\right)}{2 n _{2}} \Rightarrow 3 n _{2}=10 n _{1}+5\)
\(n _{1}=1, n _{2}=5 \rightarrow \lambda=1\)
\(n _{1}=4, n _{2}=15 \rightarrow \lambda=1 / 3\)
\(n _{1}=7, n _{2}=25 \rightarrow \lambda=1 / 5\)
