Question:

The ionisation energy of hydrogen atom is 13.6 eV. Following Bohr's theory, the energy corresponding to a transition between the 3rd and the 4th orbit is

Options:

3.40 eV

1.51 eV

0.85 eV

0.66 eV

Correct Answer:

0.66 eV

Explanation:

$E_3=-\frac{13.6}{9}=-1.51 ~eV ; \quad E_4=-\frac{13.6}{16}=-0.85 ~eV$

∴  $E_4-E_3=0.66 ~eV$
