    ∴ T ∝ n3

    T1
    =
    8T2
    =
    n1
    3
    T2T2n2

    Hence, n1 = 2n2

    Correct Option: A

    ∴ T ∝ n3

    T1
    =

    =
    n1
    3
    T2T2n2

    Hence, n1 = 2n2

    λn21n22

    where R is the Rydberg constant ​
    Solving we get n2 = n = 4 ​
    (∵ n1 = 1 ground state) ​
    Therefore number of spectral lines
    =
