\mathrm{\frac{1}{\lambda}=R\left[\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2}\right] \Rightarrow \frac{1}{\lambda_{3 \rightarrow 2}}=R\left[\frac{1}{(2)^2}-\frac{1}{(3)^2}\right]=\frac{5 R}{36} }
\mathrm{\text { and } \frac{1}{\lambda_{4 \rightarrow 2}}=R\left[\frac{1}{(2)^2}-\frac{1}{(4)^2}\right]=\frac{3 R}{16} }
\mathrm{\therefore \frac{\lambda_{4 \rightarrow 2}}{\lambda_{3 \rightarrow 2}}=\frac{20}{27} \Rightarrow \lambda_{4 \rightarrow 2}=\frac{20}{27} \lambda_0 }
