In the Bohr model of a hydrogen atom,the electrostatic force on the electron depends on the principal quantum number $n$ as:

  • A
    $F \propto 1/n^3$
  • B
    $F \propto 1/n^4$
  • C
    $F \propto 1/n^5$
  • D
    Does not depend on $n$

$A$ hydrogen ion $(H^+)$ and a singly ionized helium atom $(He^+)$ are accelerated from rest through the same potential difference $(V)$. The ratio of the final speeds of the hydrogen ion and the helium ion is close to:

The muon has the same charge as an electron but a mass that is $207$ times greater. The negatively charged muon can bind to a proton to form a new type of hydrogen atom. How does the binding energy $E_{B\mu}$ of the muon in the ground state of a muonic hydrogen atom compare with the binding energy $E_{Be}$ of an electron in the ground state of a conventional hydrogen atom?

The following statements are given about the hydrogen atom:
$A$. The wavelengths of the spectral lines of the Lyman series are greater than the wavelength of the second spectral line of the Balmer series.
$B$. The orbits correspond to circular standing waves in which the circumference of the orbit equals a whole number of wavelengths.

The time period of revolution of an electron in its ground state orbit in a hydrogen atom is $1.6 \times 10^{-16} \; s$. The frequency of revolution of the electron in its first excited state (in $s^{-1}$) is:
