Suppose an electron is attracted towards the origin by a force $F = \frac{k}{r}$,where $k$ is a constant and $r$ is the distance of the electron from the origin. By applying the Bohr model to this system,the radius of the $n^{th}$ orbital of the electron is found to be $r_n$ and the kinetic energy of the electron is $K_n$. Then which of the following is true?

  • A
    $K_n \propto \frac{1}{n}, r_n \propto n^2$
  • B
    $K_n \propto \frac{1}{n^2}, r_n \propto n^2$
  • C
    $K_n$ is independent of $n, r_n \propto n$
  • D
    $K_n \propto \frac{1}{n}, r_n \propto n$

When an electron is excited from its $4^{\text{th}}$ orbit to its $5^{\text{th}}$ stationary orbit,the change in the angular momentum of the electron is approximately (Planck's constant $= h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \text{ J s}$)

$A$ light of energy $12.75 \; eV$ is incident on a hydrogen atom in its ground state. The atom absorbs the radiation and reaches to one of its excited states. The angular momentum of the atom in the excited state is $\frac{x}{\pi} \times 10^{-17} \; eVs$. The value of $x$ is $........$ (use $h=4.14 \times 10^{-15} \; eVs$)

Obtain the first Bohr's radius and the ground state energy of a muonic hydrogen atom [i.e.,an atom in which a negatively charged muon $(\mu^-)$ of mass about $207 m_{e}$ orbits around a proton].

In the Bohr model,an electron of mass $m$ moves in a circular orbit around the proton. Considering the orbiting electron as a circular current loop,find the magnetic moment of the hydrogen atom when the electron is in the $n$th orbit. (Assume $h$ is Planck's constant)
