If ' \(E\) ' and ' \(L\) ' denote the magnitude of total energy and angular momentum of revolving electron in \(\mathrm{n}^{\text {th }}\) Bohr orbit, then

  1. A \(\mathrm{E} \propto \mathrm{L}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{E} \propto \mathrm{L}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{E} \propto \mathrm{L}^{-2}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{E} \propto \mathrm{L}^2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{E} \propto \mathrm{L}^{-2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{E} \propto \frac{1}{\mathrm{n}^2} \text { and } \mathrm{L} \propto \mathrm{n} \\ & \therefore \mathrm{E} \propto \frac{1}{\mathrm{~L}^2} \\ & \text { or } \mathrm{E} \propto \mathrm{L}^{-2}\end{aligned}\)
