An electron collides with a dfixed hydrogen atom in its ground stat. Hydrogen atom gets excited and the collding electron loses all its kinetic energy. Consequently the hydrgogen atom may emits a photon corresponding to the alrgest wavelength of the Balmer series. The K.E. of colliding electron will be 24.2/N eV. Find the value of N.

A

`10.2 eV`

B

`1.9 eV`

C

`12.1 eV`

D

`13.6 eV`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Excitation upto `n=3` is required so that visible length is emitted upon de-excitation.
So required energy `=13.6 (1-1/9)=12.1 eV`
