Energy of the Electron & Energy Levels

If 'EE' and 'LL' denote the magnitude of total energy and angular momentum of revolving electron in nnth Bohr orbit, then

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. E=13.6n2E = \frac{13.6}{n^2} eV (magnitude), so E∝1n2E \propto \frac{1}{n^2}.
  2. L=nh2πL = \frac{nh}{2\pi}, so n∝Ln \propto L.
  3. Hence E∝L−2E \propto L^{-2}; the answer is (c).
