The energy of an electron in $n$th orbit of the hydrogen atom is given by $E_{n} = \frac{- 13.6}{n^{2}}eV$ The energy required to raise an electron from the first orbit to the second orbit will be

Question

Dr. Abubacker · Accepted Answer

(a) $E = E_{2} - E_{1} = - \frac{13.6}{2^{2}}—\left( - \frac{13.6}{1^{2}} \right) = 10.2\ eV$
