A particle of mass \(m\) moves in a circular orbit in a central potential field \(U ( r )= U _{0} r ^{4}\). If Bohr's quantization conditions are applied, radii of possible orbitals \(r _{ n }\) vary with \(n ^{1 / \alpha}\), where \(\alpha\) is ....... .

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(F =\frac{- d U }{ dr }=-4 U _{0} r ^{3}=\frac{ mv ^{2}}{ r }\)

\(mv ^{2}=4 U _{0} r ^{4}\)

\(v \propto r ^{2}\)

\(mvr =\frac{ nh }{2 \pi}\)

\(r ^{3} \propto n\)

\(r \propto n^{1 / 3}\)

\(\alpha=3\)
