Ionisation potential of hydrogen atom is 13.6 eV. Hydrogen atoms in the ground state are excited by monochromatic radiation of photon energy 12.1 eV. According to Bohr's theory, the spectral lines emitted by hydrogen will be:
Ionisation energy corresponding to ionisation potential ()
Photon energy incident () = 12.1 eV
So, the energy of electron in excited state () is given by
