What is the potential energy of the electron in the first excited state of hydrogen atom?

a
-6.8 ev
b
-3.4 ev
c
-10.2 ev
d
-1.52 ev

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Total energy of the electron in the first excited state of hydrogen atom is -13.622ev  i.e., -3.4 ev∴potential energy = -2 x 3.4 ev = -6.8 ev
