Answer:
The energy in its ground state is 10 meV.
Explanation:
It is given that,
The energy of the electron in its first excited state is 40 meV.
Energy of the electron in any state is given by :
For ground state, n = 1
.............(1)
For first excited state, n = 2
.............(2)
Dividing equation (1) and (2), we get :
So, the energy in its ground state is 10 meV. Hence, this is the required solution.
