In Bohr's theory the potential of an electron at a position is \(\frac{K r^2}{2}\), where \(K\) is a constant. Then, the quantised energy of the electron in \(n\)th orbit is

  1. A \(\frac{n h K}{2 \pi m}\)
  2. B \(\frac{n h}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{K}{m}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{n h m}{2 \pi K}\)
  4. D \(\frac{n h}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{m}{K}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{n h}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{K}{m}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, potential energy of electron, \(\begin{aligned} & & U=\frac{K r^2}{2} \\ \therefore & F & =\frac{d U}{d r}=\frac{d}{d r} \frac{K r^2}{2}=K r \\ \text {But } & F & =\frac{m v^2}{r} \Rightarrow K r=\frac{m v^2}{r} \\ \Rightarrow & v & =r \sqrt{\frac{K}{m}} \end{aligned}\)…
