How much energy must be transferred to the electron if it is to make a quantum jump from its ground state to its second excited state?

Explanation

To find the energy required for an electron to make a quantum jump from its ground state to its second excited state in a hydrogen atom, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Identify the Energy Levels
The energy levels of the hydrogen atom can be calculated using the formula:
\[ E_n = -\frac{13.6 \, \text{eV}}{n^2} \]
where \( n \) is the principal quantum number.
