Paragraph:
The hydrogen-like species $\mathrm{Li}^{2+}$ is in a spherically symmetric state $S_1$ with one radial node. Upon absorbing light the ion undergoes transition to a state $S_2$. The state $S_2$ has one radial node and its energy is equal to the ground state energy of the hydrogen atom.Question:
Energy of the state $S_1$ in units of the hydrogen atom ground state energy is

The correct answer is:
$2.25$
$2.25$
Energy of state, $S_1=-13.6\left(\frac{3^2}{2^2}\right) \mathrm{eV} /$ atom $=\frac{9}{4}$ of energy of $\mathrm{H}$-atom in ground state $=2.25$ of energy of $\mathrm{H}$-atom in ground state
