Option: 1

\mathrm{\left(\frac{\lambda R}{\lambda R-1}\right)^{1 / 2}}
 


Option: 2

\mathrm{\left(\frac{\lambda R-1}{\lambda R}\right)^{1 / 2}}
 


Option: 3

\mathrm{[\lambda R(\lambda R-1)]^{1 / 2}}
 


Option: 4

\mathrm{\left[\frac{1}{\lambda R(\lambda R-1)}\right]^{1 / 2}}

\mathrm{\frac{1}{\lambda} =R\left[\frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{n^2}\right] }

\mathrm{\text { or } \frac{1}{n^2} =1-\frac{1}{\lambda R}=\frac{\lambda R-1}{\lambda R} }

\mathrm{\text { or } n =\sqrt{\frac{\lambda R}{\lambda R-1}} }
Hence option 1 is correct.
