$A$ small particle of mass $m$ moves in such a way that its potential energy $U = \frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 r^2$,where $\omega$ is a constant and $r$ is the distance of the particle from the origin. Assuming Bohr's quantization of angular momentum and a circular orbit,the radius of the $n^{\text{th}}$ orbit will be proportional to:

$A$ hydrogen atom,a deuteron atom,a $He^+$ ion,and a $Li^{++}$ ion each contain a single electron orbiting their nucleus. The wavelengths of the electromagnetic radiation emitted during the transition of the electron from the $n = 2$ orbit to the $n = 1$ orbit are found to be $\lambda_1, \lambda_2, \lambda_3$,and $\lambda_4$ respectively.

Hydrogen $(H)$,deuterium $(D)$,singly ionized helium $(He^+)$ and doubly ionized lithium $(Li^{2+})$ all have one electron around the nucleus. Consider the $n = 2$ to $n = 1$ transition. The wavelengths of emitted radiations are $\lambda_1, \lambda_2, \lambda_3$ and $\lambda_4$ respectively. Then approximately:
