Solution

The correct option is C 2.55
It is given that the quantisation rule followed in aliens' planet is as follows:
mvr=nh4π
The change in quantisation rule will not affect the energy difference.
The energy difference (in eV) is given by the expression =EnEn=13.6×[1n21n2]
We need to find the energy difference between fourth and second orbits.
E4E2=13.6[142122]
E4E2=13.6×[0.06250.25]=13.6×(0.1875)=2.55 eV
Hence, the energy difference between fourth and second orbits for H atom is 2.55 eV.
