The Correct Option is

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Radiated power: \[ P \propto \left(\frac{\ell}{\lambda}\right)^2 \]

Step 1:
Write relation. \[ P \propto \frac{\ell^2}{\lambda^2} \]

Step 2:
Observe dependence.

• Directly proportional to \(\ell^2\)
• Inversely proportional to \(\lambda^2\)

Step 3:
Conclusion. \[ \boxed{\text{Inversely proportional to } \lambda^2} \]
