Which outcome occurs when a high-energy electron excites an atom?

A)Auger electron emission occurs spontaneously
B)Photoelectric effect increases substantially
C)Resonance enables nuclear transmutations
D)Superconductivity emerges at lower temperatures

💡 Explanation

Auger electron emission releases core electrons affected by inner shell ionization; because during **relaxation**, excited electron creates a vacancy cascade and ejects additional (Auger) electrons off the atom’s orbital cloud; therefore Auger process, rather than photoelectric effect or altered resonance, initiates
