A photon of energy 10.2 eV collides inelastically with a hydrogen atom in ground state. After a few microseconds another photon of energy 16.0 eV collides in elastically with the same hydrogen atom. A suitable detector records
  1. emission of 2 photons of energy 10.2 eV each
  2. emission of 2 photons of energy 2.4 eV each
  3. emission of 1 photon of energy 16.0 eV and an electron with energy 10.2 eV
  4. emission of 1 photon of energy 10.2 eV and an electron carrying energy 2.4 eV

Answer

(D) emission of 1 photon of energy 10.2 eV and an electron carrying energy 2.4 eV
