As we learnt in 

Lymen series -

frac{1}{lambda }= Rleft ( frac{1}{1^{2}}- frac{1}{n^{2}} ight )

left ( uv : region ight )

- wherein

n=2,3,4,-----

When electron jump from higher orbital to 1st energy level

i.e. ground state

    

 

 Energy of photon emitted from the hydrogen atom is

\\ E=\frac {1}{2}m\upsilon ^{2}+\phi \\ \\ E=eV_{s}+\phi \\ \\ V_{s}=stopping \ potential \\ \\ \therefore \: E=10+2.75=12.75 eV

This is equal to energy gap between n=1 and n=4 in hydrogen atom.
