According to Bohr’s principle, what is the relation between the principal quantum number and the radius of the orbit?(a) r proportional to \(\frac {1}{n}\)(b) r proportional to \(\frac {1}{n^2}\)(c) r proportional to n(d) r proportional to n^2The question was asked by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.Query is from Alpha-Particle Scattering and Rutherford’s Nuclear Model of Atom in chapter Atoms of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

The CORRECT OPTION is (d) r proportional to n^2

The best explanation: The equation is given as:

r = \(\frac {n^2 h^2}{4\pi^2 m K Z e^2}\)

Therefore, we can say that the radius of the ORBIT is directly proportional to the square of the PRINCIPAL quantum number.
