As we learnt in 

Angle between line and Plane (vector form ) -

The angle between a line \vec{r}= \vec{a}+\lambda \vec{b}and the plane \vec{r}.\vec{n}= d is given by

\sin \Theta = \frac{\vec{b}.\vec{n}}{\left | \vec{b} \right |\left | \vec{n} \right |}

- wherein

 

 Angle between line and normal to plane= cos \left ( \frac{\pi}{2}-\theta \right )=\frac{ 2-1+2\sqrt{2}}{3\times \sqrt{5+\lambda }}

sin\theta =\frac{ 2\sqrt{\lambda }}{3 \sqrt{5+\lambda }}=\frac{1}{3}\, \, \, = > \lambda =\frac{5}{3}
