Which of the following statements are true? Statement 1: Atoms emit photons. Statement 2: Atoms absorb photons. Correct Answer Statement 1 and statement 2, both are true

Atoms do not only emit photons, they also absorb photons. If a photon hits an atom and the energy of the photon is same as the gap between two electron energy levels in the atom, then the electron in the lower energy can absorb the photon and jump to the higher energy level.
