The ionization energy of a hydrogen atom is $13.6 \ eV$. The energy required to excite the electron in a hydrogen atom from the ground state $(n=1)$ to the first excited state $(n=2)$ is (Note: The question asks for energy per atom in Joules. Given $1 \ eV = 1.602 \times 10^{-19} \ J$)

  • A
    $1.69 \times 10^{-20} \ J$
  • B
    $1.63 \times 10^{-18} \ J$
  • C
    $1.69 \times 10^{-23} \ J$
  • D
    $1.69 \times 10^{25} \ J$
