MCQ
A hydrogen atom (ionisation potential $ 13.6\, eV$) makes a transition from third excited state to first excited state. The energy of the photon emitted in the process is.......$eV$
  • A
    $1.89$
  • $2.55$
  • C
    $12.09 $
  • D
    $12.75$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$2.55$
b
(b) Energy released$ = 13.6\left[ {\frac{1}{{{{(2)}^2}}} - \frac{1}{{{{(4)}^2}}}} \right] = 2.55\,eV$
