  1. Question 1

    Q1. The energy of the photon absorbed when an electron jumps from n = 1 to n = 3 is given by ΔE = E3 - E1.

    • A) 12.09 eV
    • B) 10.2 eV
    • C) 12.75 eV
    • D) 13.6 eV

    Answer: 12.09 eV

    Explanation: Calculate E3 and E1 using En = -13.6 / n² eV, then find ΔE = E3 - E1 = -1.51 - (-13.6) = 12.09 eV.
