NEET Physics Hydrogen Atom MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the hydrogen atom is correct?
The energy of the hydrogen atom is lowest when n = 1, and this state requires 13.6 eV to ionize.
The hydrogen atom emits light of all wavelengths when excited, resulting in a continuous spectrum.
The electron in a hydrogen atom can exist in any orbit without restrictions on its energy levels.
The energy states of the hydrogen atom become more negative as n increases.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The energy of the hydrogen atom is indeed lowest when n = 1, and the ionization energy from this ground state is 13.6 eV, reflecting the model's predictions about energy levels.
