← ScienceWhich mechanism causes electron energy degeneracy removal in a hydrogen atom under electric field exposure?
A)Spin-orbit coupling interaction
B)Zeeman effect magnetic interactions
C)Stark effect induced dipole moment✓
D)Fermi's golden rule transitions
💡 Explanation
Under an electric field, induced dipole interactions arising from the Stark effect split energy levels because electron orbitals respond differently to variations, overcoming degeneracy. Therefore, Stark effect splitting dominantly affects energy levels, rather than magnetic or spin interactions, although they could become influential under other specific extreme conditions.
