The energy required (in eV) to excite an electron of \(\mathrm{H}\)-atom from the ground state to the third state is

  1. A \(+0.85\)
  2. B \(-3.4\)
  3. C \(12.1\)
  4. D \(-12.1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(12.1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(E=\frac{-13.6 Z^2}{n^2}\) \(E_1=\frac{-13.6 \times 1^2}{1^2}\) \(=-13.6 \mathrm{eV}\) \(E_2=\frac{-13.6 \times 1^2}{3^2}\) \(=-1.5111 \mathrm{eV}\) \(\therefore \quad \Delta E=E_2-E_1\)…
