  1. A \(\mu \propto \frac{1}{\lambda^{2}}\)
  2. B \(\mu \propto \lambda^{2}\)
  3. C \(\mu \propto \frac{1}{\lambda}\)
  4. D \(\mu \propto \lambda\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mu \propto \frac{1}{\lambda}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A)
\(\mu=\frac{c}{v}=\frac{v \lambda_{0}}{v \lambda} \quad \therefore \mu \propto \frac{1}{\lambda}\)
