← ScienceWhich mechanism explains electron excitation when specific photons interact with ruthenium complex orbitals?
A)Quantum tunneling into adjacent molecule
B)Internal conversion to vibrational modes
C)Frank-Condon principle photon absorption✓
D)Intersystem crossing enhancing phosphorescence
💡 Explanation
When photon energy matches orbital gap, the Frank-Condon principle explains electron excitation because it describes transition probability based on overlap. Therefore, option C describes correct excitation, rather than other non-emissive relaxation mechanisms under light irradiation.
