  1. A \(4: 1\)
  2. B \(1: 2\)
  3. C \(1: 4\)
  4. D \(2: 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(4: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{1}{\lambda}=\mathrm{Rz}^2\left(\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}_1^2}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}_2^2}\right)\) \(\frac{1}{\lambda_{\mathrm{L}}}=\mathrm{Rz}^2\left(\frac{1}{1^2}\right)\) \(\frac{1}{\lambda_{\mathrm{B}}}=\mathrm{Rz}^2\left(\frac{1}{2^2}\right)\)…
