Question

A beam of ultraviolet light of all wavelength passes through hydrogen gas at room temperature, in the x-direction. Assume that all photons emitted due to electron transitions inside the gas emerge in the y-direction. Let A and B denote the lights emerging from the gas in the x-and y-directions respectively.
(i) Some of the incident wavelengths will be absent in A
(ii) Only those wavelengths will be present in B which are absent in A
(iii) B will contain some visible light
(iv) B will contain some infrared light
A. Some of the incident wavelengths will be absent in A
B. Only those wavelngth will be present in B which are absent in A
C. B will contain some visible light
D. B will contain some infrared light

Answer 1

Correct Answer - A::C::D
Room temperature `rArr n = 1`
Upon absorption excitations takes place to many higher states which upon de-excitation emit all U.V., infrared and visible light.
