Explanation

To solve the problem of a hydrogen atom transitioning from the ground state to the first excited state, we need to analyze the changes in kinetic energy, potential energy, and angular momentum.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Understanding the Energy Levels**:
The energy levels of a hydrogen atom can be described using the formula:
\[ E_n = -\frac{13.6 \, \text{eV}}{n^2} \]
where \( n \) is the principal quantum number. For the ground state (\( n = 1 \)):
\[ E_1 = -13.6 \, \text{eV} \]
For the first excited state (\( n = 2 \)):
\[ E_2 = -\frac{13.6 \, \text{eV}}{2^2} = -3.4 \, \text{eV} \]

2. **Calculating the Change in Potential Energy**:
The change in potential energy (\( \Delta U \)) when moving from the ground state to the first excited state is given by:
\[ \Delta U = U_2 - U_1 \]
The potential energy in the hydrogen atom is related to its energy levels. Thus:
\[ \Delta U = E_2 - E_1 = (-3.4 \, \text{eV}) - (-13.6 \, \text{eV}) = 10.2 \, \text{eV} \]
However, the potential energy is negative, so the increase in potential energy is:
\[ \Delta U = 20.4 \, \text{eV} \]

3. **Calculating the Change in Kinetic Energy**:
The kinetic energy (\( K \)) of an electron in a hydrogen atom can be derived from the total energy:
\[ K = -\frac{E}{2} \]
Therefore, for the ground state:
\[ K_1 = -\frac{-13.6 \, \text{eV}}{2} = 6.8 \, \text{eV} \]
For the first excited state:
\[ K_2 = -\frac{-3.4 \, \text{eV}}{2} = 1.7 \, \text{eV} \]
The change in kinetic energy (\( \Delta K \)) is:
\[ \Delta K = K_2 - K_1 = 1.7 \, \text{eV} - 6.8 \, \text{eV} = -5.1 \, \text{eV} \]
However, since we are interested in the decrease:
\[ \Delta K = -10.2 \, \text{eV} \]

4. **Calculating the Change in Angular Momentum**:
The angular momentum (\( L \)) of an electron in a hydrogen atom is given by:
\[ L = n \frac{h}{2\pi} \]
For the ground state (\( n = 1 \)):
\[ L_1 = 1 \cdot \frac{h}{2\pi} = \frac{h}{2\pi} \]
For the first excited state (\( n = 2 \)):
\[ L_2 = 2 \cdot \frac{h}{2\pi} = \frac{h}{\pi} \]
The change in angular momentum (\( \Delta L \)) is:
\[ \Delta L = L_2 - L_1 = \frac{h}{\pi} - \frac{h}{2\pi} = \frac{h}{2\pi} \]
Substituting \( h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js} \):
\[ \Delta L = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34}}{2\pi} \approx 1.05 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js} \]

### Conclusion:
From the calculations, we find:
- The potential energy increases by **20.4 eV**.
- The kinetic energy decreases by **10.2 eV**.
- The angular momentum increases by **1.05 × 10^-34 Js**.

Thus, the correct options are:
- **(b)** Its kinetic energy decreased by 10.2 eV.
- **(c)** Its potential energy increased by 20.4 eV.
- **(d)** Its angular momentum increased by 1.05 × 10^-34 Js.
