Energy of the Electron & Energy Levels

According to Bohr's theory of hydrogen atom, the total energy of the electron in the nnth stationary orbit is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Bohr energy En=−me48ϵ02h2⋅1n2E_n = -\frac{me^4}{8\epsilon_0^2 h^2}\cdot\frac{1}{n^2}.
  2. So En∝1n2E_n \propto \frac{1}{n^2}.
  3. So the answer is (d) inversely proportional to n2n^2.
