In a hydrogen atom,if the difference in the energy of the electron in $n = 2$ and $n = 3$ orbits is $E,$ the ionization energy of the hydrogen atom is ....... $E$.

When an electron in a hydrogen atom jumps from the third orbit to the second orbit,it emits a photon of wavelength $\lambda$. When it jumps from the fourth orbit to the third orbit,the wavelength emitted by the photon will be

$A$ photon of wavelength $\lambda$ is absorbed by an electron confined to a box of length $L = \sqrt{(35 h \lambda / 8 m c)}$. As a result,the electron makes a transition from state $k=1$ to the state $n$. Subsequently,the electron transitions from the state $n$ to the state $m$ by emitting a photon of wavelength $\lambda^{\prime} = 1.75 \lambda$. Then,

The total energy of a hydrogen atom in its ground state is $-13.6 \ eV$. If the potential energy in the first excited state is taken as zero,then the total energy in the ground state will be ..... $eV$.

The ionisation potential of a hydrogen atom is $13.6 \, V$. The energy required to remove an electron in the $n = 2$ state of the hydrogen atom is.....$eV$.
