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

Answer

Correct option: C.
$10.2$
c
(c) Excitation potential$ = \frac{{{\rm{Excitation \,\,energy}}}}{{\rm{e}}}$

Minimum excitation energy corresponds to excitation from $n = 1$ to $n = 2$

Minimum excitation energy in hydrogen atom $ = - 3.4 - ( - 13.6) = + 10.2\,eV$ 

so minimum excitation potential $= 10.2\, eV.$
