  1. A \(\frac{27}{32} \lambda\)
  2. B \(\frac{32}{27} \lambda\)
  3. C \(\frac{27}{5} \lambda\)
  4. D \(\frac{5}{27} \lambda\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{27}{32} \lambda\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{1}{\lambda}=\frac{13.6 \mathrm{z}^2}{\mathrm{hc}}\left[\frac{1}{1^2}-\frac{1}{2^2}\right] \) \(...(i)\) \(\frac{1}{\lambda^{\prime}}=\frac{13.6 \mathrm{z}^2}{\mathrm{hc}}\left[\frac{1}{1^2}-\frac{1}{3^2}\right] \) \(...(ii)\) On dividing \((i)\) & \((ii)\)…
