The energy of an electron in the fourth excited state of the hydrogen atom is

  1. A \(-0.85 \mathrm{eV}\)
  2. B \(-1.70 \mathrm{eV}\)
  3. C 0
  4. D \(-0.544 \mathrm{eV}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(-0.544 \mathrm{eV}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{-13.6}{\mathrm{n}^2} \mathrm{eV} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \mathrm{E}_5=\frac{-13.6}{5^2} \mathrm{eV} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \mathrm{E}_5=-0.544 \mathrm{eV}\end{aligned}\)
