According to Bohr's theory,the expressions for the kinetic and potential energy of an electron revolving in an orbit are given respectively by:

  • A
    $ + \frac{{{e^2}}}{{8\pi {\varepsilon _0}r}}$ and $ - \frac{{{e^2}}}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}r}}$
  • B
    $ + \frac{{8\pi {\varepsilon _0}{e^2}}}{r}$ and $ - \frac{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}{e^2}}}{r}$
  • C
    $ - \frac{{{e^2}}}{{8\pi {\varepsilon _0}r}}$ and $ - \frac{{{e^2}}}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}r}}$
  • D
    $ + \frac{{{e^2}}}{{8\pi {\varepsilon _0}r}}$ and $ + \frac{{{e^2}}}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}r}}$

Consider an electron revolving in a circular orbit of a hydrogen atom,whose quantum number is $n=2$. The velocity of the electron in that orbit is

When a hydrogen atom is in its first excited level,its radius is .... of the Bohr radius.

To calculate the size of a hydrogen ion $(H^-)$ using the Bohr's model,we assume that its two electrons move in an orbit such that they are always on diametrically opposite sides of the nucleus. With each electron having the angular momentum $\hbar = h / 2\pi$ and taking electron interaction into account,the radius of the orbit in terms of the Bohr's radius of hydrogen atom $a_B = \frac{4\pi\varepsilon_0\hbar^2}{me^2}$ is

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moves around the origin in a potential $\frac{1}{2} m \omega^{2} r^{2}$,where $r$ is the distance from the origin. Applying the Bohr's model in this case,the radius of the particle in its $n$th orbit in terms of $a=\sqrt{\frac{h}{2 \pi m \omega}}$ is

The magnitude of acceleration of the electron in the $n$th orbit of a hydrogen atom is $a_{H}$ and that of a singly ionised helium atom is $a_{He}$. The ratio of $a_{H} : a_{He}$ is
