the ground state energy of an oscillating electron is 1.36 ev. how much energy must be added to the electron to move it to the third excited state? the fourth excited state?

To move an electron from ground state to the fourth excited state, you would need to add energy equal to 0.5×10^-18 Joules per electronThe first excited state has a lower bound of 2.00 ev, and the second excited state has a lower bound of 3.20 ev. To move an electron from the ground state to one of these higher-energy states, you would need to add energy equal to 1.36/2 = 0.52 ev per electron, or 6 x 10^-18 Joules per electron. To move an electron from ground state to the fourth excited state, you would need to add energy equal to 1 - 2(1/2) = 0.5 x 10^-18 Joules per electron, or 5 x 10^-21 J/electron.To learn more about excited state visit: https://brainly.com/question/15413578#SPJ4
