Explanation / Answer

Greater the difference between the energy shells more is the energy associated with that transition. When the electron is excited from lower shell to higher shell then energy is absorbed, when it comes from higher to lower shell then energy is released emitted. Energy is directly proportional to frequency and inversely proportional to wavelength.

Emissions with shortest wavelength means with highest energy. Highest energy will be released in the case where the difference between the shells is largest.

So the correct option is D

2. Absorption means electron is excited from lower shell to higher shell and longest wavelength(shortest frequency and thus minimum energy) will be associated with transition B.

So the correct option is B

3. The emission means the electron will jump from higher shell to lower shell. The minimum energy will be associated with the transition having smallest difference in the shells.

So the correct option is E

4. The Absorption line with lowest energy is B

5. The emission line with highest frequency is D

6. The ionization energy is the amount of energy required to eject the electron from the isolated gaseous atom. So the energy involved for the ejection of electron to infinite shell will be it's ionization energy. So the correct option is A
