Question

The minimum energy that must be given to a H atom in ground state so that it can emit an H $\gamma$ . line in Balmer series is

Answer 1

$H_{\gamma}$ line in Balmer series corresponds to transition from n = 5 to n = 2 states. Hence the energy required for this purpose.

$E = E_{5} - E_{1}$

$= - \frac{13.6}{5^{2}} - \left( - \frac{13.6}{1^{2}} \right)$

$= - 0.54 + 13.6 = 13.06eV$
