An electron from one Bohr stationary orbit can go to next higher orbit:

A

by emission of electromagnetic radiation

B

by absorption of any electromagnetic radiation

C

by absorption of electromagnetic radiation of particular frequency

D

without emission or absorption of electromagnetic radiation

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Transition of electron from lower energy orbit of higher energy orbit occurs upon absorbing fixed amount of energy (i.e. fixed frequency radiation) that corresponds to the energy gap between the two orbits.
