1^{\;\text "st "\;}

case

\;\;{1}/{λ}\;= {\R} [\;{1}/{1^2}-\;{1}/{5^2}]

\;\text " or, "\;\;\;{1}/{λ}\;= {\R} [1-\;{1}/{25}] = {\R} [\;{24}/{25}]

∴ \; {\R}\;=\;{25}/{24} × \;{1}/{λ}

2^{\;\text "nd "\;}

case

{1}/{λ^{'}}\;= {\R} [\;{1}/{2^2}-\;{1}/{5^2}]

\;\text " or, "\; \;\; \;{1}/{λ^{'}}\;= {\R} [\;{1}/{4}-\;{1}/{25}] = {\R} × \;{21}/{100}

\;\text " or, "\;\;\;{1}/{λ^{'}}\;=\;{25}/{24} × \;{1}/{λ} × \;{21}/{100}

\;\text " or, "\;\;\;{1}/{λ^{'}}\;=\;{21}/{96 λ}

∴ \;λ^{'}\;=\;{96}/{21} λ=\;{32}/{7} λ
