NEET Physics Bohr Model MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium

The energy of an electron in the ground state of hydrogen atom is13s^{-13}.6 eV. The kinetic and potential energy of the electron in the first excited state will be

A

-13.6 eV, 27.2 eV

B

-6.8 eV, 13.6 eV

C

4 eV, -6.8 eV

D

6.8 eV, -3.4 eV

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

In the first excited state, the energy is3s^{-3}.4 eV. The kinetic energy is positive and equal to half the magnitude of the total energy, and the potential energy is twice the total energy with a negative sign.
