  1. A directly proportional to \(\mathrm{n}^2\)
  2. B inversely proportional to \(\mathrm{n}^2\)
  3. C directly proportional to \(\mathrm{n}^3\)
  4. D inversely proportional to \(\mathrm{n}^3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) inversely proportional to \(\mathrm{n}^3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f = \frac{v}{2\pi r}\) \(v_n \propto \frac{1}{n}\), \(r_n \propto n^2\)
