An electron collides with a hydrogen atom in its ground state and excites it to `n = 3` ,. The energy gives to hydrogen aton n this inclastic collision is [Neglect the recoiling of hydrogen atom]A. `10.2 eV`B. `12.1 eV`C. `12.5 eV`D. none of these

Answer» Correct Answer - B
The energy taken by hydrogen atom corresponds to its transition from n = 1 to n = 2 state.
Delta E , (given to hydrogen atom)
`= 13.6 ((1 - (1)/(9)) = 13.6 xx (8)/(9) = 12.1 eV`
