    The energy required to excite an electron from the ground state of hydrogen atom to the First excited state will be

    A) \[1.632\times {{10}^{-18}}\,\,V\]

    B) \[1.612\times {{10}^{-14}}\,\,V\]

    C) \[1.619\times {{10}^{-16}}\,\,V\]

    D)  none of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Energy of electron at the ground state\[{{E}_{1}}=13.6\,\,eV\] Energy of the electron in the first excited state \[{{E}_{2}}=-\frac{13.6}{{{n}^{2}}}eV\]      \[=-\frac{13.6}{{{2}^{2}}}=-3.4\,\,eV\] Hence, the energy required to excite the electron                 \[E={{E}_{2}}-{{E}_{1}}=-3.4-(-13.6)\]                 \[=10.2\,\,eV\]                 \[=10.2\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}\]                 \[=1.632\times {{10}^{-18}}V\]
