In the first excited state of a hydrogen atom, the energy of its electron is $-3.4 \text{ eV}$. The radial distance of the electron from the hydrogen nucleus in this case is approximately: (Take $1 \text{ eV} = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ J}$, $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C}$ and $\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \text{ N m}^2/\text{C}^2$)

  • A
    $2.1 \times 10^{-8} \text{ m}$
  • B
    $2.1 \times 10^{-10} \text{ m}$
  • C
    $2.1 \times 10^{-11} \text{ m}$
  • D
    $2.1 \times 10^{-9} \text{ m}$
