← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a photon strikes a molecule with suitable configuration?
A)Resonance induces electronic state transition✓
B)Catalysis lowers reaction activation energy
C)Quenching causes vibrational energy reduction
D)Diffraction alters photons propagation directions
💡 Explanation
Resonance occurs because, when the photon's energy matches the energy gap between electronic states, constructive interference amplified by the molecule's quantum wave functions causes enhanced excitation; therefore, it induces a transition, rather than other interaction
