Energy of the Electron & Energy Levels

If the ionisation energy for the hydrogen atom is 13.6 eV, then the energy required to excite it from the ground state to the next higher state is nearly

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. E1=−13.6E_1 = -13.6 eV, E2=−13.64=−3.4E_2 = \frac{-13.6}{4} = -3.4 eV.
  2. Energy required =E2−E1=10.2= E_2 - E_1 = 10.2 eV
  3. So the answer is (a) 10.210.2 eV.
