Which one of the following cannot emit radiation and why ? Excited nucleus excited electron.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Excited electron cannot emit radiation because energy of electronic levels is in the range of `eV` and not `MeV` (mega electron volt).
`gamma-` radiations have energy of the order of MeV)
