Answer: When the electron moves from the first energy level to the second energy level, energy is absorbed.
Explanation:
When an electron moves from first energy level to the second energy level,energy is being absorbed by the atom which means that the electron jumps from lower energy level to higher energy level.
Bohr's Equation
E=[tex]\frac{-E_0}{n^2}[/tex]
where,
E= energy of an electron in 'n' level (n=1,2,3...etc)
[tex]E_0[/tex]= energy of an electron in ground state.
as we can see from this equation energy is inversely proportional to the n principle quantum number which means that there will be decrease in energy. As the energy is decreasing in magnitude with the negative sign which actually means there is increase in energy.
