As an electron makes a transition from an excited state to the ground state of a hydrogen-like atom/ion

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

$U = - \frac{e ^{2}}{4 π ε _{0} r}$ , $U$ $=$ potential energy, $K = \frac{e ^{2}}{4 π ε _{0} r}$

$K$ =kinetic energy. $E = U + K = - \frac{e ^{2}}{8 π ε _{0} r}$ , $E$ =total energy $∴$ As electron de-excites from an excited state to ground state, $K$ increases, but $U$ and $E$ decrease.
