A hydrogen atom is in its n = 2 excited state when its electron absorbs a photon of energy 8.5 ev. what is the kinetic energy of the resulting free electron?

The formula for determining the kinetic energy of free electron is,

              KE = -V(1/n^2)

In this item, V is equal to 8.5 eV, n is equal to 2.
Substituting the known values from the given above,
  
      KE = (-8.5 eV)(1/2^2)

           KE = -2.125 eV

Answer: -2.125 eV
