  1. A 10.2 eV
  2. B 13.6 eV
  3. C -10.2 eV
  4. D -3.4 eV
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 10.2 eV

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Minimum energy required to excite from ground state,
\(\mathrm{E}_{\min }=13.6\left[\frac{1}{1^2}-\frac{1}{2^2}\right]=10.2 \mathrm{eV}\)
