  1. Question 1

    Q1. What is the energy of the photon emitted when an electron in a hydrogen atom falls from n = 4 to n = 2?

    • A) 2.55 eV
    • B) 1.89 eV
    • C) 1.36 eV
    • D) 0.66 eV

    Answer: 2.55 eV

    Explanation: Using energy level formula, the energy difference between n = 4 and n = 2 is 2.55 eV; option B is for n = 3 to n = 2.
