Bohr Model — Easy JEE physics MCQ
The energy of an electron in the nth orbit of hydrogen atom is given by Eₙ = -13.6/n² eV. The energy required to excite the electron from n = 1 to n = 2 is:
- A. 3.4 eV
- B. 10.2 eV
- C. 13.6 eV
- D. 1.9 eV
Solution
E₁ = -13.6 eV, E₂ = -13.6/4 = -3.4 eV. Energy required = E₂ - E₁ = -3.4 - (-13.6) = 10.2 eV.
