Answer: Transition from X to Y will have greater energy difference.

Explanation: For studying the energy difference, we require Planck's equation.

                                E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where, h = Planck's Constant

c = Speed of light

E = Energy

\lambda = Wavelength of particle

From the equation, it is visible that the energy and wavelength follow inverse relation which means that with low wavelength value, energy will be the highest and vice-versa.

As electron A falls from X-energy level to Y-energy level, it releases blue light which has low wavelength value (around 470 nm) which means that it has high energy.

Similarly, Electron B releases red light when it falls from Y-energy level to Z-energy level, which has high wavelength value (around 700 nm), giving it a low energy value.

Energy Difference between X-energy level and Y-energy level will be more.

Compared to a 0.1 M aqueous solution of NaCl, a 0.8 M aqueous solution of NaCl has a
Fudgin [204]
The correct answer is option 2. A 0.8 M aqueous solution of NaCl has a higher boiling point and a lower freezing point than a 0.1 M aqueous solution of NaCl. This is explained by the colligative properties of solutions. For the two properties mentioned, the equation for the calculation of the depression and the elevation is expressed as: ΔT = -Km and <span>ΔT = Km, respectively. As we can see, concentration and the change in the property has a direct relationship.</span>

aev [14]
<h2>Answer : Option B) Ozone</h2><h3>Explanation :</h3>

The layer of atmosphere which contains a substance(Ozone) that was created from a product of living thins (oxygen) and protects living things (from harmful UV rays).

Oxygen in the atmosphere reacts in presence of UV rays and forms Ozone.

This ozone forms a protective layer around the earth and protects it from harmful UV rays.
