An 11.8 eV photon is absorbed by an electron in an atom, causing the electron to be excited from level 1 to level 3. The electron then emits a 4.1 eV photon and shifts to level 2. What photon will be emitted when the electron moves back to level 1?

a. 15.9 eV
b. 11.8 eV
c. 7.7 eV
d. 4.1 eV

Respuesta :

Answer:

c. 7.7 eV

Explanation:

The computation of the photon emitted is shown below:

Given that

From level 1 to level 3, the energy absorbed by electrons is 11.8eV

And, when from level 3 to level3, the energy released by electron is 4.1eV

So, from level 2 to level 1, the energy released is

= 11.8 - 4.1

= 7.7

= 7.7eV

Hence, the third option is correct

The same is to be considered

And, the other options are wrong
