In a hydrogen atom,if an electron in the orbit with principal quantum number $n$ jumps to the first excited state,the wavelength of the emitted photon is $\lambda$. Then the value of $n$ is (where $R$ is the Rydberg constant).

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{4 \lambda R}{\lambda R+4}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{4 \lambda R}{\lambda R-4}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{\lambda R-4}{4 \lambda R}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{\lambda R+4}{4 \lambda R}}$
