Bohr Model: Orbits, Speed & Angular Momentum

The frequency of revolution of an electron in the nnth orbit of hydrogen atom is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. f=v2πrf = \frac{v}{2\pi r} with v∝1nv \propto \frac{1}{n}, r∝n2r \propto n^2.
  2. f∝1/nn2=1n3f \propto \frac{1/n}{n^2} = \frac{1}{n^3}
  3. So the answer is (d) inversely proportional to n3n^3.
