Nuclear Physics And Radioactivity Question 14
Question: Assertion : It is essential that all the lines available in the emission spectrum will also be available in the absorption spectrum. Reason : The spectrum of hydrogen atom is only absorption spectrum.
Options:
A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C) If assertion is true but reason is false.
D) If the assertion and reason both are false.
E) If assertion is false but reason is true.

Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
Emission transitions can take place between any higher energy level and any energy level below it while absorption transitions start from the lowest energy level only and may end at any higher energy level. Hence number of absorptions transitions between two given energy levels is always less than the number of emission transitions between same two levels.
