Explanation

 

Excitation energy is defined as the energy required to take the electron from ground level orbit to any higher order orbit (i.e, n= 2, 3, 4...)

Given, ground state energy of hydrogen atom 

                  E1=-13.6 eV

Energy of electron in first excited state (i.e, n=2)

              E2=-13.622eV

Therefore, excitation energy

       E=E2-E1

             =-13.64--13.6

            =-3.4+13.6=10.2eV

 

In the phenomenon of electric discharge through gases at low pressure, the coloured glow in the tube appears as a result of:

Explanation

 

The discharge of electricity through rarefied gases is an interesting phenomenon which can be systematically studies with the help of a discharge tube. In discharge tube collisions between the charged particles emitted from the cathode and the atoms of the gas results to the coloured glow in the tube .

When subjected to a transverse electric field, cathode rays move:

Explanation

(b) In an electric field, a force opposite to the direction of electric field acts on negatively charged particles (i.e. from lower potential to higher potential).
