Find the energy of third stationary orbit of Bohr's model of hydrogen atom if the energy of ground state is -E J
Options
- A- E 2 J
- B- E 4 J
- C- E 9 J
- D- E 16 J
Correct answer
C. - E 9 J
Step-by-step solution
The energy of the n -th Bohr orbit of a hydrogen atom is given by E_n = E₁ n^2 Given that the energy of the ground state ( n=1 ) is E₁ = -E For the third stationary orbit, n=3 Substituting the values, we get E₃ = -E 3^2 = - E 9 J Answer: - E 9 J
