Exciting an H-Atom: Effects on Kinetic Energy

[rahaverhma]

If we give an hydrogen-like atom some energy in the form of photon like less than or more than the energy difference between the two energy states of H-atom .then would it increase the kinetic energy of electron

No. The photon would not be absorbed by the atom at all.
