JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 11. Dual nature of radiation and matter

Orbits of a particle moving in a circle are such that the perimeter of the orbit equals an integer number of de-Broglie wavelengths of the particle. For a charged particle moving in a plane perpendicular to a magnetic field, the radius of the \(n^{th}\) orbital will therefore be proportional to

  1. A \(n^2\)
  2. B \(n\)
  3. C \(n^{1/2}\)
  4. D \(n^{1/4}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(n^{1/2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the question, \(2 \pi r=n \lambda=\frac{n h}{p}=\frac{n h}{m v}\) or \(\operatorname{mvr}=\frac{\mathrm{nh}}{2 \pi}\) or \(\mathrm{mv}=\frac{\mathrm{nh}}{2 \pi \mathrm{r}}\) \(\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{qv}_{\mathrm{B}}=\frac{\mathrm{mv}^{2}}{\mathrm{r}}\) or,…
