Q. In the hydrogen atom, if the reference level of potential energy is assumed to be zero at the ground state level. Choose the incorrect statement.

Atoms

Solution:

On changing the reference potential energy in ground state to be zero, this will not affect the variation of energy with the energy levels as well as the difference in energies of any energy levels so total energy increases with higher energy levels
