    The first excited state of hydrogen atom is 10.2 eV above its ground state. The temperature needed to excite the hydrogen atom to the excited state will be of the order of

    A)  \[{{10}^{3}}K\]             

    B)  \[{{10}^{5}}K\]

    C)  \[{{10}^{6}}K\]            

    D)  \[{{10}^{8}}K\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    : For hydrogen, mass \[=1.67\times {{10}^{-27}}kg\] specific heat\[=14400\text{ }J/kg\,K\] Change of temperature\[=9\text{ }K\] Energy\[=10.2\text{ }eV=10.2\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}J\] \[\therefore \]Heat energy\[=ms\theta \] or \[10.2\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}\] \[=(1.67\times {{10}^{-27}})\times (14400)\times \theta \] Or \[\theta =\frac{10.2\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}{1.67\times {{10}^{-27}}\times 14400}K\] or Temperature\[=0.678\times {{10}^{5}}K\] \[\therefore \] Temperature is of the order of\[{{10}^{5}}K\]
