If \(E\) and \(L\) denote the magnitudes of total energy and of angular momentum of electron in Bohr orbit then the true relation between them is

  1. A \(L \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{E}}\)
  2. B \(E \propto \frac{1}{L}\)
  3. C \(E \propto L\)
  4. D \(L \propto \sqrt{E}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(L \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{E}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Bohr's theory, for the \(n^{\text {th }}\) orbit total energy is given by
\(E \propto \frac{1}{n^2}\)
and the angular momentum is given by
\(L \propto n\)
\(\therefore L \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{E}}\)
