how an electron at infinity comes under the influence of nucleus
Answers
Explanation:
The potential energy decreases due to release of that energy as light or photons mostly. This is the basis of color that we see in reference to visible light. All types of EM waves can originate from within the atoms with electrons falling from outer shells to inner shells and releasing the commensurate amount of their potential energy as photons, many of which will be in the visible spectrum. The Planck-Einstein equation for the energy of the photon released is : E = hf, where f is the frequency of light which determines the color of light. So in short an electron coming closer to the nucleus will lose much of its potential energy as EM waves or photons, itself being at a much lower potential energy level once closer to the nucleus, though its kinetic energy will be higher when it is closer to the nucleus. The increase in KE also prevents the electron from falling into the nucleus phenomenologically as it rotates faster around the nucleus beating the downward nuclear attractive force point to point in its trajectory… Kaiser T, MD (Life long physics, math, cosmology, and science proponent).
