Monochromatic light from a discharge tube containing dilute gas of hydrogen atoms falls on platinum metal which has a work function of 5.65 eV . The energy of the fastest photoelectrons is 6.45 eV . This corresponds to
- Correct answerAthe change in the angular momentum of the H atom is of magnitude $\frac{h}{\pi}$.
- Bthe electronic transiton from the state $n=2$ to $n=1$.
- Cthe electronic transition from the state $n=5$ to $n=2$.
- Dthe change in the angular momentum of the H atom is of magnitude $\frac{h}{2 \pi}$.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
