  • A
    $2000$
  • B
    $4000$

In a Fresnel diffraction arrangement,the screen is at a distance of $2 \ m$ from a circular aperture. It is found that for light of wavelengths ${\lambda _1}$ and ${\lambda _2},$ the radius of the $4^{th}$ zone for ${\lambda _1}$ coincides with the radius of the $5^{th}$ zone for ${\lambda _2}.$ Then the ratio ${\lambda _1}:{\lambda _2}$ is
