A hydrogen atom (ionisation potential 13.6 eV) makes a transition from third excited state to first excited state. The energy of the photon emitted in the process is [MNR 1995]
A) 1.89 eV
B) 2.55 eV
C) 12.09 eV
D) 12.75 Ev
Correct Answer:
B
Solution :
Energy released\[=13.6\left[ \frac{1}{{{(2)}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{(4)}^{2}}} \right]=2.55\,eV\]
