The ratio of the difference in energy between the first and the second Bohr orbit to that between the second and the third Bohr orbit is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
Energy of the (\mathrm{n}^{\text{th }}) Bohr's orbit is given by
(E_n=-13.6 \times \frac{z^2}{n^2} e V)
For H -atom, (\mathrm{Z}=1)
The difference in energy between the first and the second Bohr orbit:
) The the $ratio, we get :
(\frac{E_2-E_1}{E_3-E_2}=\frac{13.6 \times \frac{3}{4}}{13.6 \times \frac{5}{36}}=\frac{27}{5})
