Question

When a hydrogen atom  is excited from ground  state to first excited state then

Options

A.its kinetic energy increases by 10.2 eV.
B.its kinetic energy decreases by 10 .2 eV.
C.its kinetic energy decreases by 10 .2 eV.
D.its angular momentum increases by 1.05 × 10-34 J-s.

Solution

K.E. = eV, P.E = eV     for Hydrogen z = 1
ᐃK = Kf − Ki                            z = 1
ᐃK.E. = = − 10.2 eV    (decrease)
= (PE)f − (PE)i
ᐃP.E. = = 20.4 eV (increase)
Angular momentum L =
ᐃL = (2 − 1) = = 1.05 × 10-34 J-s (increase)
