Energy of the Electron & Energy Levels

In nnth Bohr orbit, the ratio of the kinetic energy of an electron to the total energy of it, is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. In a Bohr orbit KE=ke22rKE = \frac{ke^2}{2r} and TE=−ke22rTE = -\frac{ke^2}{2r}, so KE=−TEKE = -TE.
  2. KETE=−1\frac{KE}{TE} = -1
  3. So the answer is (b) 1:−11 : -1.
