In hydrogen atom, the energy of electron in first and third orbit is ' \(\mathrm{E}_1{ }^{\prime}\) and ' \(E_3{ }^{\prime}\) respectively. If \(E_3=x E_1\) then the value of \(x\) will be

  1. A \(\frac{1}{9}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{64}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{27}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{8}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{9}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(E_n \propto \frac{1}{n^2}\) \(E_3 = x E_1 \implies x = \frac{E_3}{E_1}\)
