To solve the problem of calculating the ratio of wavelengths of the first line for the Balmer series for the `He^(+)` ion and the second line for the Balmer series for the `Li^(2+)` ion, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Balmer Series The Balmer series corresponds to electronic transitions in hydrogen-like atoms where the electron falls to the n=2 energy level from higher energy levels (n=3, 4, 5, ...). The formula for the wavelength (λ) in the Balmer series is given by: \[ \frac{1}{\lambda} = RZ^2 \left( \frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} \right) \] ...
