Energy of the Electron & Energy Levels

The total energy of electron in the ground state of hydrogen atom is −- 13.6 eV. The kinetic energy of an electron in the first excited state is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. First excited state is n=2n = 2: E2=−13.64=−3.4 eVE_2 = -\frac{13.6}{4} = -3.4\text{ eV}.
  2. KE=−E2=3.4 eVKE = -E_2 = 3.4\text{ eV}
  3. So the answer is (d) 3.4 eV.
