Answer

$\frac{r~\alpha}{c-r~\alpha} = \frac{r\alpha}{c}+ (\frac{r\alpha}{c})^2+(\frac{r\alpha}{c})^3+(\frac{r\alpha}{c})^4+...$

Work Step by Step

$\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda} = \frac{r~\alpha}{c-r~\alpha}$ We can expand the right side of the equation: $\frac{r~\alpha}{c-r~\alpha} = \frac{r\alpha}{c}+ (\frac{r\alpha}{c})^2+(\frac{r\alpha}{c})^3+(\frac{r\alpha}{c})^4+...$
