Answer:

Correct Answer: 4. (c)

Solution:

  1. The ground state energy of $\mathrm{H}$-atom is $+13.6 \mathrm{eV}$.

For second excited state, $n=2+1=3$

$$ \begin{gathered} \therefore E_{3}\left(\mathrm{He}^{+}\right)=-13.6 \times \frac{\mathrm{Z}^{2}}{n^{2}} \mathrm{eV} \quad\left[\because \text { for } \mathrm{He}^{+}, Z=2\right] \ =-13.6 \times \frac{2^{2}}{3^{2}} \mathrm{eV}=-6.04 \mathrm{eV} \end{gathered} $$
