The atoms of sample after passing of light through it
The atoms of sample \( A \) after passing of light through it
- A. May be in the first excited state
- B. May be in the second excited state
- C. May be in both first and second excited states
- D. None of the above
Step-by-step solution
When light passes through a sample, atoms can absorb photons and transition to various excited states. Depending on the photon energies present, atoms may be excited to either the first or second excited state, or both. Thus, it is possible for atoms to be in both states after interaction with light.
