Relation between K.E.,P.E. & total energy -

K.E.= \left ( Total\: energy \right )\\=\frac{1}{2}\left ( Potential \: energy \right )

- wherein

Potential Energy and total energy are negative .While kinetic energy is positive

 

 Total energy in first excited state = \dot-13.6 (\frac{1}{4}) =-3.4 ev

K.E=\left | total \ energy \right |=3.4 ev
