How would the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation absorbed change if the number of atoms undergoing the same electronic transition was increased?

A

There would be no change

B

It would shift to shorter wavelengths

C

It would be shifted to longer wavelengths

D

It would be depend on the magnitude of the increase in the number of atoms

Answer

There would be no change

Explanation

Solution

The energy difference between the energy levels in an atom remains fixed. Hence wavelength remains fixed.

Increasing number of atoms would increase the intensity absorbed.
