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

  1. A \(0.75\)
  2. B \(1.50\)
  3. C \(2.25\)
  4. D \(4.50\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2.25\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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
