Ans.

(4)

A→p, r

The lines in the hydrogen spectrum are obtained due to the transition of electrons from one energy level to another. Characteristic X-rays are produced due to the transition of electrons from one energy level to another.

B→q, s

In the photoelectric effect, electrons are emitted from the metal surface when light of appropriate frequency is incident on it.

In β-decay, electrons are emitted from the nucleus of an atom.

C→p

According to Moseley's law, the frequency of emitted X-rays is related to the atomic number (z) of the target material as ν=a(Z-b)

D→q

According to Einstein's photoelectric equation, the energy of photons of the incident radiation is converted into the kinetic energy of emitted electrons. K.Emax=hν-ϕ
