The radius of third stationary orbit of electron for Bohr's atom is R . The radius of fourth stationary orbit will be:
Options
- A4 3 R
- B16 9 R
- C3 4 R
- D9 16 R
Correct answer
B. 16 9 R
Step-by-step solution
From Bohr's atomic model, it follows that r n = n 2 Z r 1 . . . 1 Following equation (1), it can be written that r 4 r 3 = 4 2 3 2 ⇒ r 4 = 16 9 R
