In hydrogen atom in its ground state, the first Bohr orbit has radius ' \(r_1{ }^{\prime}\). When the atom is raised to one of its excited states, the electrons orbital velocity becomes one-third. The radius of that orbit is

  1. A \(2 r_1\)
  2. B \(3 r_1\)
  3. C \(4 r_1\)
  4. D \(9 r_1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(9 r_1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(v_n = \frac{v_1}{n} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{n} \Rightarrow n = 3\) \(r_n = r_1 n^2 = r_1 (3)^2 = 9r_1\)
