When the hydrogen atom is raised from the ground state to fifth state

Options

A. both `K.E` and `P.E` increases
B. both `K.E` and `P.E` decreases
C. `P.E` increases and `K.E` decreases
D. `P.E` decreases and `K.E` increases

Answer

C

Explanation

As the number of orbit increase the velocity decreased i.e `K.E` decreases the potential energy becomes less negative i.e `P.E` increase.
