Which of the following statements is correct about the absorption process in a hydrogen atom?
Absorption occurs when an electron jumps to a higher energy level by absorbing a photon matching the energy difference between levels. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.
Ref: NCERT Physics Textbook for Class XI and XII, Chapter: Atoms, Topic: Absorption in hydrogen atom, electron excitation to higher energy level by photon absorption. The section explains definitions, governing laws, formulas like μ₀ = 4π × 10⁻⁷ T·m/A, units and illustrative examples.
