As an electron makes a transition from an excited state to the ground state of a hydrogen - like atom/ion:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
As we know that kinetic energy of an electron is
When the electron makes transition from an excited state to the ground state, then 
decreases and KE increases. We know that PE is lowest for ground state. As TE = - KE. TE also decreases,
