The ground state energy of an electron is 42ev, give the energy in eV of corresponding to 6th energy level A 252ev B.252 j/ev C. 67.284 ×10-19ev D.67.284×10-19ev
Greetings, Aspirant
The energies of an electron in the first and sixth energy level can be compared as
E 1 /E 2 = (n 2 /n 1 ) 2
=> 42 eV/ E 2 = (6 / 1) 2 => 42 eV / E 2 = 36
=> E 2 = (42/36) eV = 1.16 eV
The answer does not match any of the given options. I hope it helps.
Thank you
