The radius of electron's second stationary orbit in Bohr's atom is R . The radius of 3 r d orbit will be
Options
- AR 3
- B2 . 25   R
- C3 R
- D9 R
Correct answer
B. 2 . 25   R
Step-by-step solution
As we know, radius of hydrogen like atom r ∝ n 2 Z . Therefore, r 2 r 3 = n 2 n 3 2 ⇒ R r 3 = 2 3 2 ⇒   r 3 = 9 4 R = 2 . 25 R
