An electron is excited to fourth energy level in an atom. It will

A

remain there permanently

B

come back to original state either in one or more jumps

C

come back to ground state in one jump

D

rise to higher energy levels.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

In an experiment on the photo-electric effect Singly ionized helium is excited electronically to different energy levels. The light emitted by ionised helium is incident on photo-electric plate in a photocell. When helium is excited to fourth energy level, then the observed stopping potential of the photocell is found to be five times the stopping potential measured when the photoelectrons are produced by using light emitted by hydrogen atom, excited to the third energy level. Determine the work function of the material of the photo-electric plate.
