The energy levels of a hypotherical one electron atom are shown in figure

If an electron with initial kinetic energy `6 eV` is to interact with this hypothetical atom , what minimum energy will this electron carry after interaction?

A

`2 eV`

B

`3 eV`

C

`6 eV`

D

`0 eV`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Because excitation energy for the second shell is more than `6 eV`, hence electron having initial kinetic energty of `6 eV`will not interact with the atom .Because it cannot transfer its energy to the electron in the atom.
