Question
When a hydrogen atom is raised from the ground state to an excited state
- P.E. increases and K.E. decreases
- P.E. decreases and K.E. increases
- Both kinetic energy and potential energy increase
- Both K.E. and P.E. decrease
The correct answer is: P.E. increases and K.E. decreases
![text P. E. end text proportional to negative 1 over straight r text and end text straight K. straight E. proportional to 1 over straight r](data:image/png;base64,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)
As r increases K.E. decreases but P.E. increases
