AIIMS 2019 Physics Bohr's Model MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

If energy of 15 eV is given to electron in 4th4^{th} orbit then find it's final energy when it comes out of H⁻atom.

A

14.15 eV

B

13.6 eV

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

When an electron in the 4th orbit of a hydrogen anion (H⁻) absorbs 15 eV of energy, it initially has an energy of -0.85 eV (the energy of the 4th orbit). After absorbing this energy, the total energy becomes 15 eV - 0.85 eV = 14.15 eV. This energy is sufficient to overcome the binding energy of the electron, allowing it to escape the atom, resulting in a final energy of 14.15 eV. Options B and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation of the electron's energy after absorption and escape.
