Answer:

Transition from n = 4 to n = 1  corresponds to shortest wavelength.

Explanation:

         Process                   \mid \Delta n\mid =\mid \frac{1}{(n)_{final}^{2}}-(\frac{1}{n_{initial}^{2}})\mid

             A                                         0.9375

             B                                          0.75

             C                                          0.0421

             D                                          0.1875

According to Rydberg equation for electronic transition in H-like atoms:

           \frac{1}{\lambda }=R_{H}\mid (\frac{1}{n_{final}^{2}}-(\frac{1}{n_{initial}^{2}})\mid

where, \lambda is wavelength of light emitted or absorbed, R_{H} is Rydberg constant.

So, higher the value of \mid \Delta n\mid, lower will the corresponding wavelength of light.

Hence process A will be associated with shortest wavelength.

Lorico [155]
M=43lb = 19,5kg

If 115mg --------- is for --------- 1kg
                             so
    x        ---------- is for --------- 19,5kg

x = 19,5kg * 115mg / 1kg
x = 2242,5 mg
