The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Formula
\(E_n=-\frac{2.18\times10^{-18}}{n^2}\) J.

Step 2: Substitute
For \(n=2\): \(E_2=\frac{-2.18\times10^{-18}}{4}=-0.545\times10^{-18}\) J. Option (C).

Final Answer:
\(E_2=-0.545\times10^{-18}\) J, option (C). \[ \boxed{\text{(C)}} \]
