    The energy of the photon emitted when the electron in a hydrogen atom drops from energy level E5 to energy level E2 is 2.85eV

    Now, the energy of the ground state is - 13.6 eV.

    the energy of the first state (n = 1) is - 3.39 eV.

    the energy of the fifth state is - 0.54 eV.

    Now, When an electron drops from higher to lower state, then energy difference is same as the energy of the photon emitted, is

    = E5 - E2

    = - 0.54 eV - (-3.39 eV)

    = 2.85 eV
