Since, at n = 1, the population of electrons is maximum i.e. at ground state. So, maximum excitation will take place from n = 1 to n= 2

Hence, n= 2 is the possible excited state. Now, we have the formula for energy of

  H – atom   (En)H=13.6Z2n2eV

Where, Z = atomic number, Z for H – atom = 1

(En)H=13.6×122eV

 

=13.64eV=3.4eV
