JEE MAIN - Physics (2023 - 11th April Evening Shift - No. 6)
The energy of $$\mathrm{He}^{+}$$ ion in its first excited state is, (The ground state energy for the Hydrogen atom is $$-13.6 ~\mathrm{eV})$$ :
$$-13.6 ~\mathrm{eV}$$
$$-27.2 ~\mathrm{eV}$$
$$-3.4 ~\mathrm{eV}$$
$$-54.4 ~\mathrm{eV}$$
Explanation
The energy levels of a one-electron ion can be described by the formula:
$$ E_n = -\frac{Z^2}{n^2} \times E_0 $$
where $E_n$ is the energy of the nth level, Z is the atomic number (number of protons), n is the principal quantum number, and $E_0$ is the ground state energy of the hydrogen atom (-13.6 eV).
For the $$\mathrm{He}^{+}$$ ion, the atomic number Z is 2 (since helium has 2 protons). We are looking for the energy of the first excited state, which corresponds to n = 2. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
$$ E_2 = -\frac{2^2}{2^2} \times (-13.6 ~\mathrm{eV}) = -13.6 ~\mathrm{eV} $$
So, the energy of the $$\mathrm{He}^{+}$$ ion in its first excited state is $$-13.6 ~\mathrm{eV}$$.
$$ E_n = -\frac{Z^2}{n^2} \times E_0 $$
where $E_n$ is the energy of the nth level, Z is the atomic number (number of protons), n is the principal quantum number, and $E_0$ is the ground state energy of the hydrogen atom (-13.6 eV).
For the $$\mathrm{He}^{+}$$ ion, the atomic number Z is 2 (since helium has 2 protons). We are looking for the energy of the first excited state, which corresponds to n = 2. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
$$ E_2 = -\frac{2^2}{2^2} \times (-13.6 ~\mathrm{eV}) = -13.6 ~\mathrm{eV} $$
So, the energy of the $$\mathrm{He}^{+}$$ ion in its first excited state is $$-13.6 ~\mathrm{eV}$$.
