For a hydrogen-like ion with atomic number ZZ, the wave number νˉ\bar{\nu} of a spectral line arising from a transition n2→n1n_2 \to n_1 is given by ________. Choose the correct expression. (a) νˉ=ZRH(1n12−1n22)\bar{\nu}=Z R_H\Bigl(\dfrac{1}{n_1^{2}}-\dfrac{1}{n_2^{2}}\Bigr) (b) νˉ=Z2RH(1n1−1n2)\bar{\nu}=Z^{2} R_H\Bigl(\dfrac{1}{n_1}-\dfrac{1}{n_2}\Bigr) (c) νˉ=Z2RH(1n12−1n22)\bar{\nu}=Z^{2} R_H\Bigl(\dfrac{1}{n_1^{2}}-\dfrac{1}{n_2^{2}}\Bigr) (d) νˉ=Z2RH(1n22−1n12)\bar{\nu}=Z^{2} R_H\Bigl(\dfrac{1}{n_2^{2}}-\dfrac{1}{n_1^{2}}\Bigr)
