An excited hydrogen atom emits a photon of wavelength $\lambda$ in returning to the ground state. The quantum number $n$ of the excited state is ($R=$ Rydberg's constant).

  • A
    $\sqrt{\lambda R(\lambda R-1)}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{\lambda R}{\lambda R-1}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{\lambda R-1}{\lambda R}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{1}{\lambda R(\lambda R-1)}}$
