Find the true statement.(a) An electron will not lose energy when jumping from the 1^st orbit to the 3^rd orbit(b) An electron will not give energy when jumping from the 1^st orbit to the 3^rd orbit(c) An electron will release energy when jumping from the 1^st orbit to the 3^rd orbit(d) An electron will absorb energy when jumping from the 1^st orbit to the 3^rd orbitI have been asked this question in examination.I'm obligated to ask this question of Atomic Spectra in section Atoms of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

The correct option is (d) An electron will ABSORB ENERGY when JUMPING from the 1^st ORBIT to the 3^rd orbit

To explain I would say: An electron will absorb energy when jumping from the 1^st orbit to the 3^rd orbit. Only by absorbing energy, an electron will be able to jump from the first orbit to the THIRD orbit in the atomic spectrum.
