MCQ
The separation energy of the electron present in the shell $n = 3$ is $1.51\, eV.$ What is the energy in the first exicted state ? ............ $\mathrm{eV}$
  • A
    $-1.51$
  • $-3.4$
  • C
    $+1.51$
  • D
    $+3$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$-3.4$
b
1st excited state $=n=2$

Energy $=-136 \times \frac{2}{n^{2}}$$\alpha \frac{1}{n^{2}}$

$\frac{E_{3}}{E_{2}}=\frac{1/(3)^2}{1/(2)^2}$

$\frac{E_{3}}{E_{2}}=\frac{4}{9}$

$E_{2} =\frac{9}{4} \times E_{3}$

$=\frac{9}{4} \times 1.51$

$={-3.4}$
