Total energy of an electron in an excited state of a hydrogen atom is $-3.4 \text{ eV}$. Find the kinetic and potential energy of the electron in this state.

The minimum excitation energy of an electron revolving in the first orbit of hydrogen is (in $eV$)

If the electron in a hydrogen atom moves from the ground state orbit to the $5^{\text{th}}$ orbit,then the potential energy of the electron

The diagram below shows the lowest four energy levels for an electron in a hypothetical atom. The electron is excited to the $-1\,eV$ level and transitions to the lowest energy state $(-12\,eV)$ by emitting exactly two photons. Which of the following energies could not belong to either of the photons (in $eV$)?

View Solution

Assertion : Between any two given energy levels,the number of absorption transitions is always less than the number of emission transitions.
Reason : Absorption transitions start from the lowest energy level only and may end at any higher energy level. But emission transitions may start from any higher energy level and end at any energy level below it.
