Solution

The correct option is D 113.74 A
Energy of a electron in nth orbit of a hydrogen like atom is given by
En=13.6Z2n2eV, and Z = 3 for Li
Required energy for said transition
ΔE=E3E1=13.6Z2(112132)=13.6×32[89]=108.8eV=108.8×1.6×1019J
Now using ΔE=hcΔEλ=6.6×1034×3×108108.8×1.6×1019=0.11374×107mλ=113.74A
