NEETPhysicsAtomic Physics
When an electron falls from a higher energy to a lower energy level, the difference in the energies appears in the form of electromagnetic radiation. Why cannot it be emitted as other forms of energy?
Options
- ABecause electrons are not capable of releasing other forms of energy.
- BBecause the energy difference can only be released as electromagnetic radiation.
- CBecause other forms of energy are not produced during the transition of electron energy levels.
- DBecause electrons interact only electromagnetically.
Correct answer
D. Because electrons interact only electromagnetically.
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (D) Because electrons interact only electromagnetically.
