For a hydrogen atom,the ratio of the largest wavelength of the Lyman series to that of the Balmer series is:

In the Lyman series,the series limit of wavelength is $\lambda_1$. The wavelength of the first line of the Lyman series is $\lambda_2$ and in the Balmer series,the series limit of wavelength is $\lambda_3$. Then the relation between $\lambda_1$,$\lambda_2$,and $\lambda_3$ is
