Assertion: A hydrogen atom cannot absorb a photon whose energy is greater than `13.6 eV`, its binding energy.
Reason: The extra energy will manifest as `KE` of the electron.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
It can absorb a photon with energy greater than `13.6 eV`, the balance showing up as `KE`.
