An electron in a hydrogen atom makes a transition from the $(n+1)^{th}$ orbit to the $n^{th}$ orbit. For large $n$,the wavelength of the emitted radiation is proportional to:

  • A
    $n^3$
  • B
    $n^2$
  • C
    $n$
  • D
    $n^4$

$A$ 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,
