please tell me that why is it that an excited electron don't absorbs an extra photon before coming to ground state.

What makes you think that it doesn't?

okkkkkkkay i got the idea so excited electron can absorb more energy.

You are making very little sense here.

Multiphoton absorption is certainly possible and has been shown experimentally[1]. This is not new.

okay thanx:smile:

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
