when the electron absorbs energy in the form of e.m. waves then is it that only one quanta of the wave is absorbed by the electron??
Dear Student,
Plancks is the first to incorporate the electromagnetic waves absorbed by electron in the form of energy are emitted in the quantum state termed as "quanta" it generally denotes the emission are performed in discrete state and been given value of constant as plancks constant, as per the question statement the answer is yes as electron absorbs only one quanta of wave at a time as per plancks theory.
Regards.
