MCQ
First and second excitation potentials of hydrogen atom (in $eV$) would be respectively
- ✓$10.2, 12.1$
- B$12.1, 10.2$
- C$13.6, 3.4$
- D$3.4, 13.6$
For hydrogen atom, First excitation potential $=-3.4-(-13.6) \mathrm{eV}=10.2 \mathrm{eV}$
When electron jumps from $n=1$ level to $n=3$ level, we will have second exciation potential.
Second excitation potential $=-1.5-(-13.6)=12.09 \mathrm{eV}$
