Question 705072

SCQMEDIUM

An atom of mass mm, initially at rest, resonantly absorbs a photon. It makes a transition from the ground state to an excited state and also gets a momentum kick. If the difference between the energies of the ground state and the excited state is Δ\hbar\Delta, the angular frequency of the absorbed photon is closest to

(A)

Δ(1+32Δmc2)\Delta (1 + \frac{3}{2} \frac{\hbar\Delta}{mc^2})

(B)

Δ(1+12Δmc2)\Delta (1 + \frac{1}{2} \frac{\hbar\Delta}{mc^2})

(C)

Δ(1+Δmc2)\Delta (1 + \frac{\hbar\Delta}{mc^2})

(D)

Δ(1+2Δmc2)\Delta (1 + 2 \frac{\hbar\Delta}{mc^2})
