How the linear velocity \(v\) of an electron in the Bohr orbit is related to its quantum number \(m\)

  1. A \(v \propto \frac{1}{n}\)
  2. B \(v \propto \frac{1}{n^{2}}\)
  3. C \(v \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\)
  4. D \(v \times n\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(v \propto \frac{1}{n}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\because\) Linear velocity of an electron in a orbit of H like atom, \(v=218 \times 10^{6} \times \frac{Z}{n} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}=\frac{c_{0}}{137} \cdot \frac{Z}{n}\) where, \(Z=\) number of protons in nucleus, \(n=\) principal quantum number and \(c_{o}=\) speed of light…
