In a hydrogen atom,the wavelength of the light emitted during a transition from the $n = 3$ orbit to the $n = 2$ orbit is ${\lambda _0}$. What will be the wavelength of the light emitted during a transition from the $n = 4$ orbit to the $n = 2$ orbit?

  • A
    $\frac{16}{25}{\lambda _0}$
  • B
    $\frac{20}{27}{\lambda _0}$
  • C
    $\frac{27}{20}{\lambda _0}$
  • D
    $\frac{25}{16}{\lambda _0}$
