In hydrogen atom, electron excites from ground state to higher energy state and its orbital velocity is reduced to 1 3 rd of its initial value. The radius of the orbit in the ground state is R . The radius of the orbit in that higher energy state is
Options
- A9 R
- B2 R
- C3 R
- D27 R
Correct answer
C. 3 R
Step-by-step solution
According to Bohr's orbit m v r= n h 2 i.e., v 1 r , v ₁ v ₂ = r ₂ r v v / z = r₂ R r₂=3 R
