The correct answer is:
\( 1.51 \mathrm{eV} \)
We know that, energy of electron revolving in \( n^{\text {th }} \) orbit is given as
\( E_{n}=\frac{-13.6}{n^{2}} \)
For third orbit, \( n=3 \),
\( E_{3}=\frac{-13.6}{3^{2}}=\frac{-13.6}{9}=-1.5111 \mathrm{eV} \)
Therefore, energy of electron revolving in third orbit is \( 1.51 \mathrm{eV} \)
\( E_{n}=\frac{-13.6}{n^{2}} \)
For third orbit, \( n=3 \),
\( E_{3}=\frac{-13.6}{3^{2}}=\frac{-13.6}{9}=-1.5111 \mathrm{eV} \)
Therefore, energy of electron revolving in third orbit is \( 1.51 \mathrm{eV} \)
