NEET Physics Hydrogen Atom MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

What is the total energy of an electron in the second orbit (n = 2) of a hydrogen atom, according to Bohr’s model?

A

-3.4 eV

B

-6.8 eV

C

-1.7 eV

D

-13.6 eV

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The energy levels in a hydrogen atom are given by E_n = -13.6 eV / n^2. For n = 2, E_2 = -13.6 / 4 = -3.4 eV.
