IIT JAM Physics Mock Test - 8 - Question 3

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

Detailed Solution for IIT JAM Physics Mock Test - 8 - Question 3

Since we assume the potential energy to be zero in the ground state . So Total energy = U + K = Kinetic energy 
Since P E = U = 0
∴ Total energy = 13.6ev (in ground state)
If the potential energy is not assigned a zero value, then the total energy is - 13.6ev .
So we conclude that making potential energy zero increases the value of total energy by 13.6 - ( - 13.6) = 27.2ev 
Now actual energy in second orbit = - 3.4ev
Hence new value is ( - 3.4 ev + 27.2 ev) = 23.8ev
