Detailed Solution

$\begin{array}{l} \frac{1}{λ} = R [\frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}} - \frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}}] \Rightarrow \frac{1}{λ_{3 \to 2}} = R [\frac{1}{{(2)}^{2}} - \frac{1}{{(3)}^{2}}] = \frac{5 R}{36} \\ and \frac{1}{λ_{4 \to 2}} = R [\frac{1}{{(2)}^{2}} - \frac{1}{{(4)}^{2}}] = \frac{3 R}{16} \\ ∴ \frac{λ_{4 \to 2}}{λ_{3 \to 2}} = \frac{20}{27} \Rightarrow λ_{4 \to 2} = \frac{20}{27} λ_{o} \end{array}$
