Suppose an electron in an atom experiences an attractive force towards the nucleus given by $F = k/r$,where $k$ is a constant and $r$ is the distance of the electron from the nucleus. Applying the Bohr model to this system,the radius of the $n^{th}$ orbit $r_n$ and the kinetic energy of the electron in that orbit $K_n$ are found. Which of the following relationships is correct?

  • A
    $K_n \propto 1/n, r_n \propto n^2$
  • B
    $K_n \propto 1/n^2, r_n \propto n^2$
  • C
    $K_n$ is independent of $n$; $r_n \propto n$
  • D
    $K_n \propto 1/n, r_n \propto n$

$A$ hydrogen atom,initially at rest in its ground state,absorbs a photon of frequency $v_1$ and ejects the electron with a kinetic energy of $10 eV$. The electron then combines with a positron at rest to form a positronium atom in its ground state and simultaneously emits a photon of frequency $v_2$. The center of mass of the resulting positronium atom moves with a kinetic energy of $5 eV$. It is given that the positron has the same mass as that of the electron and the positronium atom can be considered as a Bohr atom,in which the electron and the positron orbit around their center of mass. Considering no other energy loss during the whole process,the difference between the two photon energies (in $eV$) is $....$ (in $.80$)

The radius of the first orbit in an $H$-atom is '$a_0$'. Then,the de-Broglie wavelength of the electron in the third orbit is: (in $\pi a_0$)

Assertion : Bohr had to postulate that the electrons in stationary orbits around the nucleus do not radiate.
Reason : According to classical physics all moving electrons radiate.

The wavelength of the first Balmer line caused by a transition from the $n=3$ level to the $n=2$ level in hydrogen is $\lambda_1$. The wavelength of the line caused by an electronic transition from $n=5$ to $n=3$ is

In the third orbit of a hydrogen atom,if the de Broglie wavelength of the electron is $\lambda$,then the radius of the third orbit is:
