The first excited state of hydrogen atom...

The first excited state of hydrogen atom is 10.2 eV above its ground state. What temperature is needed to excite hydrogen atoms to first excited level

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

K.E. per atom=3/2KT
K.E. of the hydrogen atom=10.2 eV
`therefore 10.2 eV=10.2xx(1.6xx10^(-19))` Joule
`T=2/3xx("K.E per atom")/K`
`thereforeT=2/3xx(10.2xx1.6xx10^(-19))/(1.38xx10^(-23))`
Where `k=1.38xx10^(-23) J//mole`. `^@K`
`implies T=7.88xx10^4 K`
