The radius of electron's second stationary orbit in Bohr's atom is R. The radius of 3rd orbit will be
- (A)
- (B)✓ Correct
- (C)
- (D)
Answer: (B)
Solution
In Bohr's model the orbit radius grows as the square of the quantum number, . The second orbit has , so the first-orbit radius is . The third orbit is then , which is .
