Bohr Model: Orbits, Speed & Angular Momentum

The force acting on the electron in hydrogen atom (Bohr's theory) is related to the principal quantum number n as

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. F=ke2r2F = \frac{ke^2}{r^2} with r∝n2r \propto n^2.
  2. F∝1n4=n−4F \propto \frac{1}{n^4} = n^{-4}
  3. So the answer is (b) n−4n^{-4}.
