Minimum excitation potential of Bohr's first orbit in hydrogen atom is |
13.6 V 3.4 V 10.2 V 3.6 V |
10.2 V |
Excitation potential = $\frac{\text { Excitation energy }}{e}$ 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. |
