(A) The Rydberg formula for the hydrogen spectrum is given by $\frac{1}{\lambda} = R \left( \frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} ight)$,where $R$ is the Rydberg constant.For the Balmer series,$n_1 = 2$. The first line corresponds to the transition from $n_2 = 3$ to $n_1 = 2$.$\frac{1}{\lambda} = R \left( \frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{3^2} ight) = R \left( \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{9} ight) = R \left( \frac{5}{36} ight) \Rightarrow \lambda = \frac{36}{5R}$.The second line corresponds to the transition from $n_2 = 4$ to $n_1 = 2$.$\frac{1}{\lambda'} = R \left( \frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{4^2} ight) = R \left( \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{16} ight) = R \left( \frac{3}{16} ight) \Rightarrow \lambda' = \frac{16}{3R}$.Dividing $\lambda'$ by $\lambda$:$\frac{\lambda'}{\lambda} = \frac{16}{3R} 	imes \frac{5R}{36} = \frac{16 	imes 5}{3 	imes 36} = \frac{80}{108} = \frac{20}{27}$.Therefore,$\lambda' = \frac{20}{27}\lambda$.
