Question
Suppose an electron is attracted towards the origin by a force k/r where ′k′ is a constant and ′r′ is the distance of the electron from the origin. By applying Bohr model to this system, the radius of the nth orbital of the electron is found to be ′rn′ and the kinetic energy of the electron to be Tn. Then which of the following is true?
Options
A.Tn ∝ 1/n2, rn ∝ n2
B.Tn independent of n, rn ∝ n
C.Tn ∝ 1/n, rn ∝ n
D.Tn ∝ 1/n, rn ∝ n2
Solution
mv2 = k
n
= mvr ⇒ r ∝ n and T = 
mv2 is independent of n.Create a free account to view solution
