$A$ singly ionised helium atom in an excited state $(n=4)$ emits a photon of energy $2.6 \,eV$. Given that the ground state energy of hydrogen atom is $-13.6 \,eV$,the energy $E_f$ and quantum number $n$ of the resulting state are respectively,

  • A
    $E_f=-13.6 \,eV , n=1$
  • B
    $E_f=-6.0 \,eV , n=3$
  • C
    $E_f=-6.0 \,eV , n=2$
  • D
    $E_f=-13.6 \,eV , n=2$
