Which of the following statements are true for an atom with 3 energy levels? You can choose more than one answer.
When atomic electrons are excited to a higher level, they always return to their lowest energy level by jumping down one level at a time.
For a given battery voltage the kinetic energy of the free electron at the point of collision is higher if the atom is closer to the source of electrons.
When a free electron hits an atom, the atom is always excited to the highest energy level possible.
For a given position of the atom, the kinetic energy of a free electron at the point of collision increases as the voltage of the battery increases.
The number of different wavelengths emitted by the atom depends on the number of free electrons passing through the lamp.
The number of different wavelengths emitted by the atom depends on how much kinetic energy the free electron has when it hits the atom.
Photons are emitted as electrons in the atom jump up in energy.
TRUE STATEMENTS ARE :
When a free electron hits an atom, the atom is always excited to the highest energy level possible
For a given position of the atom, the kinetic energy of a free electron at the point of collision increases as the voltage of the battery increases.
The number of different wavelengths emitted by the atom depends on how much kinetic energy the free electron has when it hits the atom.
False Statement are:
1.When atomic electrons are excited to a higher level, they always return to their lowest energy level by jumping down one level at a time.
they jump directly to their lowest energy level.
2.For a given battery voltage the kinetic energy of the free electron at the point of collision is higher if the atom is closer to the source of electrons
kinetic energy remains same
3.The number of different wavelengths emitted by the atom depends on the number of free electrons passing through the lamp.
it depends on the various energy levles of electron they posses.
Photons are emitted as electrons in the atom jump up in energy.
no up but down inenergy level
