Due to fall of electron from higher to lower energy level, the difference in energy is emitted in the form of electromagnetic radiation only because electrons can interact only electromagnetically.
Class 12 Physics Chapter 12 Atoms Session 2024-2025.
When an electron falls from a higher energy to a lower energy level, the difference in the energies appears in the form of electromagnetic radiation. Why cannot it be emitted as other forms of energy?
Share
The energy difference during an electron’s transition is emitted as electromagnetic radiation because it arises from changes in the electron’s energy levels, governed by quantum mechanics. Other forms of energy, like kinetic or thermal energy, do not align with the quantized nature of electronic transitions.
