An electron of a hydrogen like atom, having $Z=4$, jumps from $4^\text{th}$ energy state to $2^\text{nd}$ energy state. The energy released in this process will be (Given $Rch=13.6$ eV, where $R$ = Rydberg constant, $c$ = speed of light in vacuum, $h$ = Planck's constant)
Answer: (D) $40.8\ \text{eV}$
$\Delta E=13.6\times16\left(\dfrac14-\dfrac1{16}\right)=13.6\times3=40.8$ eV.
