The groud state energy of hydrogen atom is `-13.6 eV`. When its electron is in first excited state, its exciation energy is

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Energy in ground state `E_1=-13.6eV`.
Energy is first excited state,
`E_2=(-13.6)/(2^2)=-3.4eV.`
`:.` Required energy =`E_2-E_1`
`=-3.4-(-13.6)=10.2eV`
