Hydrogen $(_1H^1)$,Deuterium $(_1H^2)$,singly ionized Helium $(_2He^4)^+$,and doubly ionized Lithium $(_3^6Li)^{++}$ all have one electron around the nucleus. Consider an electron transition from $n = 2$ to $n = 1$. If the wavelengths of emitted radiation are $\lambda_1, \lambda_2, \lambda_3$,and $\lambda_4$ respectively,then approximately which one of the following is correct?

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