An electron in an atom jumps in such a way that its kinetic energy changes from x to x/4. The change in potential energy will be:

(a) +\(\frac{3}{2}x\)

(b) -\(\frac{3}{8}x\)

(c) +\(\frac{3}{4}x\)

(d) -\(\frac{3}{4}x\)

Correct answer: (a) +\(\frac{3}{2}x\)

Explanation:

Change in P.E. = -\(\frac{2x}{4}\) +(2x)

= \(\frac{3}{2}x\)
