In Bohr's atomic model of hydrogen, let K, P and E are the kinetic energy, potential energy and total energy of the electron respectively. Choose the correct option when the electron undergoes transitions to a higher level :

Options

G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

Step 1: For a hydrogen-like atom, Eₙ = −13.6Z²/n² eV and photon energy is ΔE = 13.6Z²|1/n₂²−1/n₁²| = hc/λ. Step 2: Use the stated transition/excitation condition to obtain the required value. Final: B: K decreases, P and E increase.
