  1. A \(\frac{9}{4}\)
  2. B \(\frac{3}{2}\)
  3. C \(\frac{2}{3}\)
  4. D \(\frac{4}{9}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{9}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \frac{1}{\lambda_P} = R \left( \frac{1}{3^2} - \frac{1}{\infty^2} \right) \Rightarrow \lambda_P = \frac{9}{R} \) \( \frac{1}{\lambda_B} = R \left( \frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{\infty^2} \right) \Rightarrow \lambda_B = \frac{4}{R} \)
