The total energy of an electron in the first excited state of hydrogen atom

The Total Energy Of An Electron In The First Excited Physics QuestionThe Total Energy Of An Electron In The First Excited Physics Question

The total energy of an electron in the first excited state of hydrogen atom is about -3.4 eV. Its kinetic energy in this state is

Options

(a) 3.4 eV
(b) 6.8 eV
(c) -3.4 eV
(d) -6.8 eV

Correct Answer:

3.4 eV

Explanation:

KE. = |(1/2) P.E.|
But P.E. is negavite
.·. Total energy = |(1/2) P.E.| – P.E. = – P.E. / 2 = – 3.4 eV
.·. K.E. = + 3.4 eV
