Detailed Solution

Wavelength λ of emitted photon as an electron transits from an initial energy level ni to some final energy level nf is given by Balmer’s formula, 1λ=R(1nf21ni2)

Where, R = Rydberg constant. 
In transition from n = 4 to n = 3, we have 1λ1=R(132142)=R(79×16)......(i)

In transistor from n = 3 to n = 2 we have =R(59×4)......(ii)

So, from eq. (i) and (ii) the ratio of λ1λ2 is λ1λ2=(9×167R)(9×45R)=207
