Question:

The energy required to excite an electron from the ground state of hydrogen atom to the first excited state, is

Options:

$1.602 × 10^{-14}$ J

$1.619 × 10^{-16}$ J

$1.632 × 10^{-18}$ J

$1.656 × 10^{-20}$ J

Correct Answer:

$1.632 × 10^{-18}$ J

Explanation:

Energy to excite the e- from n = 1 to n = 2

$E=-3.4-(-13.6)=10.2 ~eV=10.2 \times 1.6 × 10^{-19}$

$1.632 × 10^{-18}$ J
