Ratio of centripetal acceleration for an electron revolving in \(3^{\text {rd }}\) orbit to \(5^{\text {th }}\) Bohr orbit of hydrogen atom is

  1. A \(\frac{424}{21}\)
  2. B \(\frac{625}{81}\)
  3. C \(\frac{125}{4}\)
  4. D \(\frac{775}{61}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{625}{81}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Centripetal acceleration \(\mathrm{a}=\frac{\mathrm{v}^{2}}{\mathrm{r}}\)
\(v \propto \frac{1}{n}\) and \(r \alpha n^{2}\)
\(\therefore a=\frac{1}{n^{4}}\)
\(\therefore \frac{a_{5}}{a_{3}}=\frac{(3)^{4}}{(5)^{4}}=\frac{81}{125}\)
