The energy of electron in the first excited state of Hydrogen atom is -3.4 eV. The potential energy of this electron is: |
+3.4 eV -3.4 eV -6.8 eV -1.7 eV |
-6.8 eV |
The correct answer is Option (3) → -6.8 eV $E_L$, Energy in first excited state = $\frac{13.6eV}{2^2}=-3.42eV$ [given] and, in hydrogen atom, the potential energy is twice the total energy, $U=2E$ $=2×-3.42eV=-6.8eV$ |
