Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(27\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{1}{\lambda}= Rz ^2\left[\frac{1}{ n _1^2}-\frac{1}{ n _2^2}\right]\)

\(\frac{1}{\lambda_1}= Rz ^2\left[\frac{1}{1^2}-\frac{1}{3^2}\right]=\frac{8}{9} Rz ^2\)

\(\frac{1}{\lambda_2}= Rz ^2\left[\frac{1}{1^2}-\frac{1}{2^2}\right]=\frac{3}{4} Rz ^2\)

\(1 / 2 \Rightarrow \frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}=\frac{8}{9} \times \frac{4}{3}=\frac{32}{27}\)

\(\frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2}=\frac{27}{32}\)
