In a hydrogen atom,if an electron in the orbit with principal quantum number $n$ jumps to the first excited state,the wavelength of the emitted photon is $\lambda$. Then the value of $n$ is (where $R$ is the Rydberg constant).

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{4 \lambda R}{\lambda R+4}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{4 \lambda R}{\lambda R-4}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{\lambda R-4}{4 \lambda R}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{\lambda R+4}{4 \lambda R}}$

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: In a hydrogen atom,the frequency of radiation emitted when an electron jumps from a lower energy orbit $(E_1)$ to a higher energy orbit $(E_2)$ is given as $hf = E_1 - E_2$.
Statement $II$: The jumping of an electron from a higher energy orbit $(E_2)$ to a lower energy orbit $(E_1)$ is associated with the frequency of radiation given as $f = (E_2 - E_1) / h$.
This condition is Bohr's frequency condition. In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below.
