$A$ photon of wavelength $\lambda$ is absorbed by an electron confined to a box of length $L = \sqrt{(35 h \lambda / 8 m c)}$. As a result,the electron makes a transition from state $k=1$ to the state $n$. Subsequently,the electron transitions from the state $n$ to the state $m$ by emitting a photon of wavelength $\lambda^{\prime} = 1.75 \lambda$. Then,

Three energy levels of a hydrogen atom and the corresponding wavelengths of the emitted radiation due to different electron transitions are as shown. Then,

In a hydrogen-like atom,an electron makes a transition from an energy level with principal quantum number $n$ to another with principal quantum number $(n - 1)$. If $n >> 1$,the frequency of the emitted radiation is proportional to:
