    Minimum excitation potential of Bohr's first orbit in hydrogen atom is [BHU 1998; JIPMER 2001, 02; Pb. PMT 2004]

    A)            13.6 V                                      

    B)            3.4 V

    C)            10.2 V                                      

    D)            3.6 V

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       Excitation potential\[=\frac{\text{Excitation energy}}{\text{e}}\]                    Minimum excitation energy corresponds to excitation from \[n=1\] to \[n=2\]                    \ Minimum excitation energy in hydrogen atom \[=-3.4-(-13.6)=+10.2\,eV\]            so minimum excitation potential = 10.2 eV.
