Electromagnetic Radiation can be thought of as being made of packets of energy called Quanta, according to Planck's Theory.



The energy of each such "Quantum" of light is given by:

E = h f
where

E is Energy
h is Plack's Constant
f is frequency of the Electromagnetic Radiation.


Now, frequency and wavelength are related as follows:

c=\lambda \, f

Here, c is the speed of electromagnetic radiation. 

We have:

c = \lambda \, f \\ \\ \\ \implies f = \frac{c}{\lambda}

We can rewrite our Energy formula as:

E = hf \\ \\ \\ \implies \boxed{E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}}

Coming to question. We have the data:

E_1 = 25 \, \, eV \\ \\ E_2 = 50 \, \, eV

We have to find the relation between corresponding wavelengths. 

We know:

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

So, we can write:
E_1 = \frac{hc}{\lambda_1} \\ \\ \\ E_2 = \frac{hc}{\lambda_2}

Dividing the first equation by the second one, we have:

\frac{E_1}{E_2} = \frac{\frac{hc}{\lambda_1}}{\frac{hc}{\lambda_2}} \\ \\ \\ \implies \frac{E_1}{E_2} = \frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1} \\ \\ \\ \implies \frac{25}{50} = \frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1} \\ \\ \\ \implies \frac{1}{2} = \frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1} \\ \\ \\ \implies \boxed{\lambda_1=2\lambda_2}


Thus, we have our relation. The answer is Option (b)  \lambda_1=2\lambda_2
