Bohr Model: Orbits, Speed & Angular Momentum

The ratio of the areas of the electron orbits for the second excited state to the first excited state for the hydrogen atom is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Second excited state n=3n = 3, first excited state n=2n = 2.
  2. Area =πr2= \pi r^2 and r∝n2r \propto n^2, so area ∝n4\propto n^4.
  3. A3A2=3424=8116\frac{A_3}{A_2} = \frac{3^4}{2^4} = \frac{81}{16}
  4. So the answer is (d) 81:1681 : 16.
