11. Given that E1 = −15.6eV, E∞ = 0eV.
Ionization energy of the atom: E∞ − E1 = 0 − (−15.6eV) = 15.6eV
So, ionization potential = 15.6 V

12. For short wavelength limit of the series terminating at n = 2, a transition must take place from
n = ∞ state to n = 2 state. For this, ΔE = 5.30eV

Excitation potential = 12.52 eV
