    How much work must be done to pull apart the electron and the proton that make up the hydrogen atom, if the atom is initially in the state with \[\operatorname{n}= 2\]

    A) \[13.6 \times  1.6 \times \,\,{{10}^{-}}^{19}\,J\]

    B) \[3.4 \times  1.6 \times \,\,{{10}^{-}}^{19}\,J\]

    C) \[1.51 \times  1.6 \times \,\,{{10}^{-}}^{19}\,J\]

    D)   0

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The electrostatic PE is zero when the electron and proton are far apart from each other. Work done in pulling electron and proton far away from each other \[W={{E}_{f}}-{{E}_{i}}=0-{{E}_{i}}=-\left( \frac{-13.5}{{{n}^{2}}}\,eV \right)\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,W=\frac{13.6}{{{\left( 2 \right)}^{2}}}\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}J=3.4\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}\,J\]
