← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when high noble gas pressure impacts detector photomultiplier quantum efficiency?
A)Broadening of atomic emission spectra
B)Increased excitation photon absorption
C)Quenching of excited state populations✓
D)Enhanced two-photon fluorescence efficiency
💡 Explanation
Quenching of excited states occurs because increased collision rate facilitates non-radiative relaxation, rather than radiative emission. Therefore, the photomultiplier’s gain decreases resulting in lowered quantum efficiency rather than alternative emission spectrum deviations.
