Find the kinetic energy, potential energ...

Find the kinetic energy, potential energy and total energy in
first and second orbit of hydrogen atom if potential energy in first orbit is taken
to be zero.

`E_(1)=-13.60eV, K_(1)=-E_(1)=13.60eV`
`U_(1)=2E_(1) =-27.20eV E_(2)=-3.40eV K_(2) =`
`3.40eV` and `U_(2) =-6.80eV `
Now , `U_(1) =0` ,i.e potential energy has been increased by `27.20e` v . So , we will increased U and `E` in all energy states by `27.20 eV` while kitnetic energy will remain unchanged.
Hence `K(eV) , U(eV), E(eV)`
