Bohr's atom model
Question

Let the potential energy of a hydrogen atom in the ground state be zero. Then, its energy in the first excited state will be

Moderate
Solution

Making potential energy zero increases the value of total
energy by 1 3 .6 -(-13.6) : 27.2 eV
Now, actual energy in second orbit = -3.4 eV
Hence, new value is (-3.4 + 27.2) eV:23.8 eV
