Which one of them is a type of emission?
Correct answer: C. Both Options A and B are correct
- A. Spontaneous
- B. Stimulated
- C. Both Options A and B are correct
- D. None of these options is correct
Explanation
Spontaneous Emissions and stimulated Emissions are both types of emissions. If an atom is in an excited state. it may spontaneously decay into a lower energy level after some time, releasing energy in the form of a photon, which is emitted in a random direction. This process is called spontaneous emission. Stimulated emission is the process by which an incoming photon of a specific frequency can interact with an excited atomic electron (or another excited molecular state), causing it to drop to a lower energy level. As explained above both A and B are correct and D is not correct.

About Nuclear Physics
Atomic nuclei contain protons and neutrons, with nuclear size, mass defect and binding energy describing their stability. The work covers alpha, beta and gamma decay, decay equations, half-life and decay rate, along with radiation safety and medical applications such as imaging, radiotherapy and tracers.
