$A$ small particle of mass $m$ moves in such a way that its potential energy $U = \frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 r^2$,where $\omega$ is a constant and $r$ is the distance of the particle from the origin. Assuming Bohr's quantization of angular momentum and a circular orbit,the radius of the $n^{\text{th}}$ orbit will be proportional to:

  • A
    $\sqrt{n}$
  • B
    $n$
  • C
    $n^2$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{n}$

The Bohr model for the $H$-atom relies on Coulomb's law of electrostatics. Coulomb's law has not been directly verified for very short distances of the order of $\mathring{A}$. Suppose Coulomb's law between two opposite charges $+q_1$ and $-q_2$ is modified to $|\vec{F}| = \frac{q_1 q_2}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \left( \frac{1}{r^2} \right)$ for $r \ge R_0$ and $|\vec{F}| = \frac{q_1 q_2}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \left( \frac{1}{R_0^{2-\epsilon} r^{\epsilon}} \right)$ for $r < R_0$. Calculate the ground state energy of an $H$-atom,given $\epsilon = 0.1$ and $R_0 = 1 \,\mathring{A}$.
