Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1: 4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Radius of \(\mathrm{n}^{\text {th }}\) Bohr orbit, \(\mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{n}}=\mathrm{n}^2 \mathrm{r}_0\) Ratio of first Bohr orbit to second Bohr orbit,
\(\begin{aligned}
& \frac{\mathrm{r}_1}{\mathrm{r}_2}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 \times \frac{\mathrm{r}_0}{\mathrm{r}_0} \\
& \therefore \quad \frac{r_1}{r_2}=\frac{1}{4}
\end{aligned}\)
