The orbital frequency of an electron in the hydrogen atom is proportional to

  1. A \(n^{3}\)
  2. B \(n^{-3}\)
  3. C \(n^{1}\)
  4. D \(n^{0}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(n^{-3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Time period of electron, \(T=\frac{4 \varepsilon_{0}^{2} n^{3} h^{3}}{m Z^{2} e^{4}}\)
\(\therefore\)
\(T \propto n^{3}\)
\(\therefore \quad \frac{1}{\text { frequency }(f)} \propto n^{3}\)
or \(f \propto n^{-3}\)
