Suppose Bohr had chosen the potential energy of the electron in the hydrogen atom to be V = 0 when the electron is in the orbit with n = 1 . He could do this by
a. choosing n = 1 for the orbit where the kinetic energy of the electron is zero.
b. adding a constant 13.6 eV to the potential energy for all values of n.
c. adding a constant 27.2 eV to the potential energy for all values of n.
d. subtracting a constant 13.6 eV from the potential energy for all values of n.
e. subtracting a constant 27.2 eV from the potential energy for all values of n.

a. 1 006
b. 209
c. 306
d. 103
