The hydrogen like species `Li^(2+)` is in a spherically symmetric state `S_(1)` with one radial node. Upon absorbing light, the ion undergoes transition to a state `S_(2)`. The state `S_(2)` has one radial node and its energy is equal to the ground state energy of the hydrogen atom Energy of the state `S_(1)` in units of the hydrogen atom ground state energy isA. 0.75B. `1.50`C. 2.25D. `4.50`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Energy in `S_(1)` state (i.e., 2s orbital) of `Li^(2+)` ion
`= - (13.6 xx 3^(2))/(2^(2)) = - 13.6 xx 2.25 eV`
= 2.25 times of `E_(H)`
