Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. λ=hcΔE\lambda = \frac{hc}{\Delta E}: max wavelength for smallest ΔE\Delta E, min wavelength for largest ΔE\Delta E.
  2. A: 0→−20 \to -2: 2 eV. B: 0→−4.50 \to -4.5: 4.5 eV. C: −2→−4.5-2 \to -4.5: 2.5 eV. D: −2→−10-2 \to -10: 8 eV.
  3. Smallest gap is A, largest is D.
  4. So the answer is (d) A, D.
