Question

A particle of mass $m$ is moving around the origin with a constant force $F$ pulling it towards the origin. If Bohr model is used to describe its motion, the radius of the $n^{\text{th}\text{~}}$ orbit and the particle's speed $v$ in the orbit depend on $n$ as

Options

A.$r \propto n^{1/3};v \propto n^{1/3}$
B.$r \propto n^{1/3};v \propto n^{2/3}$
C.$r \propto n^{2/3};v \propto n^{1/3}$
D.$r \propto n^{4/3};v \propto n^{- 1/3}$

Solution

Given, force is constant

$$\begin{matrix} & & F = \frac{mv^{2}}{r} \\ & & \ \Rightarrow \frac{v^{2}}{r} = constant \\ & \ \Rightarrow r \propto v^{2}\ldots(1) & \text{(1)} \end{matrix}$$

$$\begin{array}{r} \text{~}\text{\&}\text{~}\ L = mvr = \frac{nh}{2\pi}\#(2) \end{array}$$

⇒ on solving equation (1) and equation (2)

$\nu \propto n^{1/3}$ and $r \propto n^{2/3}$
