Two hydrogen atoms are in excited state ...

Two hydrogen atoms are in excited state with electrons in`n=2` state.First one is moving to wards left and emits a photon.' of energy `E_(1)` towards right. Second one is moving towards right with same speed and emits a photon of energy `E_(2)` towards right. Taking recoil of nucleus.into account during_emission process :

A

`E_(1) gt E_(2)`

B

`E_(1) lt E_(2)`

C

`E_(1) = E_(2)`

D

information insufficient

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B


In the first case, `HE of H` atom increases due to recoil whereas in the second case `KE` decrease due to recoil.
`E_(2) gt E_(1)`
