If the first excitation potential of a hydrogen-like atom is V electron volt, then the ionization energy of this atom will be

Q. If the first excitation potential of a hydrogen-like atom is V electron volt, then the ionization energy of this atom will be

(a) V electron volt

(b) 3V/4 electron volt

(c) 4V/3 electron volt

(d)cannot be calculated by given information

Ans: (c)

Sol: E −E/4 = V

3E/4 = V

E = 4V/3
