Asked in ETEA MDCAT 2017 2017

Which of the following radiations cannot cause excitation in the molecule ?

Correct answer: D. None of the above

  • A. Red Colour
  • B. Green Colour
  • C. Ultra Voilet
  • D. None of the above

Explanation

The answer is D as all the mentioned radiations can excite molecules.All electromagnetic radiation, including red and green colours of visible light, have the potential to cause excitation in molecules, although the likelihood of excitation increases with higher-energy radiation such as ultraviolet (UV) and X-rays. Therefore, all the options given in the question can cause excitation in molecules to some extent, and hence the correct answer is D) None of the above.
