Question
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 )
Explanation
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 kgâ»Â¹ Kâ»Â¹, m/s², 10â»âµ are properly used as per NCERT.
