NEET 2026 Physics Bohr Model of Hydrogen Atom MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

In the first excited state of hydrogen atom, the energy of its electron is −3.4 eV. The radial distance of the electron from the hydrogen nucleus in this case is approximately: (Take 1 eV = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ J, e = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C and 14πε0=9×109 N m2/C2\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \text{ N m}^2/\text{C}^2)

A

2.1 × 10⁻⁹ m

B

2.1 × 10⁻⁸ m

C

2.1 × 10⁻¹⁰ m

D

2.1 × 10⁻¹¹ m

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

Using the formula KQ2/2r=3.4 eVKQ^2/2r = 3.4 \text{ eV}, we find r=2.1×1010 mr = 2.1 \times 10^{-10} \text{ m}.
