Q.

An electron of a hydrogen like atom, having Z = 4, jumps in from 4th energy state to 2nd energy state. The energy released in this process, will be: (Given Rch=13.6 eV) Where R = Rydberg constant c = Speed of light in vacuum h = Planck's constant                      [2023]

1 13.6 eV  
2 10.5 eV  
3 3.4 eV  
4 40.8 eV  

Ans.

(4)

ΔE=13.6Z2[122-142] eV

      =13.6×(4)2(14-116) eV

       =13.6[4-1] eV=13.6×3=40.8 eV
