Practice question

Given: A hydrogen atom absorbs a photon of energy 12.75 eV from the ground state. To which energy level does it jump? (Use E_n = -13.6/n² eV ) These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: E_1 = -13.6 eV. This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon. Substitution & Calculation: E_n = -13.6 + 12.75 = -0.85 eV . -0.85 = -13.6/n² Rightarrow n² = 16 Rightarrow n = 4 . Result: The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹, m/s², 10⁻⁵ are properly used as per NCERT.
