When a photon stimulates the emission of another photon, both photons possess

Options

  1. Asame direction
  2. Bsame wavelength
  3. Csame energy
  4. Dopposite phase

Correct answer

C. same energy

Step-by-step solution

In the process of stimulated emission, an incident photon interacts with an excited atom, causing it to transition to a lower energy state and emit a second photon. The emitted photon is completely identical to the incident photon. They have the same energy, same frequency, same wavelength, same direction of propagation, and are in the same phase. Thus, both photons possess the same direction, same wavelength, and same energy.
