MCQ
The energy of an electron in the first Bohr’s orbit of $H$ atom is $-13.6\,eV.$ The possible energy value (s) of the excited state (s) for electron in Bohr’s orbits of hydrogen is (are) : ............. $\mathrm{eV}$
  • $-3.4$
  • B
    $-4.2$
  • C
    $-6.8$
  • D
    $+6.8$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$-3.4$
a
As we know,

$E=-13.6 \times Z^{2} / n^{2}$

So, $E_{1}$ for $H=-13.6 \mathrm{eV}$

$E_{2}=\frac{-13.6}{4}=-3.4 \mathrm{eV}$

$E_{3}=\frac{-13.6}{9}=-1.51$

$E_{4}=\frac{-13.6}{16}=-0.85$ and so on.

Hence, the correct option is $A$
