Bohr Model: Orbits, Speed & Angular Momentum
A particle of mass is moving around the origin with a constant force pulling it towards the origin. If Bohr model is used to describe its motion, the radius of the th orbit and the particle's speed in the orbit depend on as
Show answer and solution
Answer: (a)
- Constant force gives the centripetal force: .
- Bohr condition: .
- So , and .
- So the answer is (a) .
