A photon collides with a stationary hydrogen atom in ground state inelastically. Energy of the colliding photon is 10.2 eV. After a time interval of the order of micro second another photon collides with same hydrogen atom inelastically with an energy of 15 eV. What will be observed by the detector        

a
2 photon of energy 10.2 eV
b
2 photon of energy of 1.4 eV
c
One photon of energy 10.2 eV and an electron of  energy 1.4 eV
d
One photon of energy 10.2 eV and another photon of 1.4 eV

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Due to 10.2 eV photon one photon of energy 10.2 eV will be detected.Due to 15 eV photon the electron will come out of the atom with energy (15 - 13.6) = 1.4 eV
