Q. A photon of wavelength
300 nm interacts with a stationary hydrogen atom in ground state. During the interaction, whole energy of the photon is transferred to the electron of the atom. State which possibility is correct.
(consider, Planck's constant
=4.1×10−15eVs, velocity of light
=3×108m/s, ionisation energy of hydrogen
= 13.6 eV)
- Electron will be knocked out of the atom
- Electron will go to any excited state of the atom
- Electron will keep orbiting on the ground state of the atom
- Electron will go only to first excited state of the atom
