MCQ
Minimum excitation potential of Bohr's first orbit in hydrogen atom is
  • A
    $13.6 V$
  • B
    $3.4 V$
  • $10.2 V$
  • D
    $3.6 V$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$10.2 V$
$\text { Excitation potential }=\frac{\text { Excitationenergy }}{\mathrm{e}}$
Minimum excitation energy corresponds to excitation from $n=1$ to $n=2$
$\therefore$  Minimum excitation energy in hydrogen atom $=-3.4-(-13.6)=+10.2 \mathrm{eV}$
so minimum excitation potential $=10.2 \mathrm{eV}$.
