Hydrogen $(H)$,deuterium $(D)$,singly ionized helium $(He^+)$ and doubly ionized lithium $(Li^{2+})$ all have one electron around the nucleus. Consider the $n = 2$ to $n = 1$ transition. The wavelengths of emitted radiations are $\lambda_1, \lambda_2, \lambda_3$ and $\lambda_4$ respectively. Then approximately:

  • A
    $\lambda_1 = \lambda_2 = 4\lambda_3 = 9\lambda_4$
  • B
    $4\lambda_1 = 2\lambda_2 = 2\lambda_3 = \lambda_4$
  • C
    $\lambda_1 = 2\lambda_2 = 2\sqrt{2}\lambda_3 = 3\sqrt{2}\lambda_4$
  • D
    $\lambda_1 = \lambda_2 = 2\lambda_3 = 3\sqrt{2}\lambda_4$
