  1. A \(+3 \cdot 02 \mathrm{eV},-1 \cdot 51 \mathrm{eV}\)
  2. B \(1 \cdot 51 \mathrm{eV},-3 \cdot 02 \mathrm{eV}\)
  3. C \(-1 \cdot 51 \mathrm{eV},+3 \cdot 02 \mathrm{eV}\)
  4. D \(+3 \cdot 02 \mathrm{eV},+1 \cdot 51 \mathrm{eV}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1 \cdot 51 \mathrm{eV},-3 \cdot 02 \mathrm{eV}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(D)
For second excited state \(n=3\)
Total energy in the third orbit
\(E_{3}=\frac{-13.6}{9} \mathrm{eV}=-1.51 \mathrm{eV}\)
K.E. \(=-\) T.E. \(\quad=1.51 \mathrm{eV}\)
P.E. \(=2\).T.E. \(=-3.32 \mathrm{eV}\)
