Question

The energy of an electron in n th orbit of hydrogen atom is - 13.6 n ⁡ 2 eV. ⁡ Energy required to excite the electron from the first orbit to the third orbit is, 10.2 J, 12.09 J, 12.09 eV, 13.6 eV

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Calculate difference in energies of 3rd orbit and 1st orbit. Use, - 13.6 n ⁡ 2 E = E 3 - E 1 = - 13.6 3 2 — - 13.6 1 2 E = - 1.51 + 13.6 = 12.09 e V
