Solution

The correct option is B
100 nm
Wave number for hydrogen like species is give by

$\frac{1}{λ} = Z^{2} R_{H} (\frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}} - \frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}})$

$\frac{1}{400} = R_{H} (\frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}} - \frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}})$ for H atom
$\frac{1}{λ_{H e^{+}}} = 2^{2} R_{H} (\frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}} - \frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}})$

From the above equations,
$λ_{H e^{+}}$ = 100 nm
