A photon collides with a stationary hydrogen atom in ground state inelastically. Energy of the colliding photon is 10.2 eV. After a time interval of the order of micro second another photon collides with same hydrogen atom inelastically with an energy of 15 eV. What will be observed by the detector?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
One photon of energy 10.2 eV and an electron of energy 1.4 eV
The correct answer is C because the first photon excites the hydrogen atom, and the second photon ionizes it, releasing an electron with kinetic energy.
