$A$ doubly ionised $Li$ atom is excited from its ground state $(n = 1)$ to $n = 3$ state. The wavelengths of the spectral lines are given by $\lambda_{32}, \lambda_{31}$ and $\lambda_{21}$. The ratios $\lambda_{32}/\lambda_{31}$ and $\lambda_{21}/\lambda_{31}$ are,respectively:

  • A
    $8.1, 0.67$
  • B
    $8.1, 1.2$
  • C
    $6.4, 1.2$
  • D
    $6.4, 0.67$
