Which of the following corresponds to the energy of the possible excited state of hydrogen?

  1. A \(-13.6 \mathrm{eV}\)
  2. B \(13.6 \mathrm{eV}\)
  3. C \(-3.4 \mathrm{eV}\)
  4. D \(3.4 \mathrm{eV}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(-3.4 \mathrm{eV}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The different energy levels of an atoms are given by the equation. \(E_n=-13.6 Z^2 / n^2 \mathrm{eV}\) \(Z\) is the atomic number for hydrogen \(=1\) \(n=1,2,3\). and so on such that the ground state has \(n=1\) and the secondary energy level (first excited state) has \(n=2\)…
