A uniform magnetic field \(B\) exists in a region. An electron of charge \(q\) and mass \(m\) moving with velocity \(v\) enters the region in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic field. Considering Bohr angular momentum quantization, which of the following statement(s) is/are true?

  1. A The radius of \(\mathrm{n}^{\text {th }}\) orbit \(\mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{n}} \propto \sqrt{\mathrm{n}}\)
  2. B The maximum velocity of the electron is \(\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{qB} \hbar}}{\mathrm{m}}\)
  3. C Energy of the \(n^{\text {th }}\) level \(E_n \propto n\)
  4. D Transition frequency \(\omega\) between two successive levels is independent of \(n\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Transition frequency \(\omega\) between two successive levels is independent of \(n\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hint: \(r=\frac{m v}{q B}\) \(m v r=\frac{n h}{2 \pi}\) \(m v=\frac{n h}{2 \pi r}\) \(r=\frac{n h}{2 \pi r q B}\)…
