Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2.091 \times 10^{-18}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \text { } \mathrm{E}=2.18 \times 10^{-18}\left(\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}_1^2}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}_2^2}\right) \\ & =2.18 \times 10^{-18}\left(\frac{1}{5^2}-\frac{1}{1^2}\right)=2.18 \times 10^{-18}(-0.96) \\ & =-2.091 \times 10^{-18} \mathrm{~J}\end{aligned}\)
