Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

The total energy of electron in the ground state of hydrogen atom is –13.6 eV. The kinetic energy of an electron in the first excited state is

A

6.8 eV

B

13.6 eV

C

1.7 eV

D

3.4 eV

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

In the first excited state (n=2), the total energy is3s^{-3}.4 eV. The kinetic energy is equal to the absolute value of the total energy, which is 3.4 eV.
