Show that the radius of the orbit in hydrogen atom varies as n2, where n is the principal quantum number of the atom.

Answer»

Solution :de Broglie wavelength `lambda = (h)/(P)=(h)/(sqrt(2mqV))`
Where, m = mass of charge particle, q = charge of particle, V = POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE
(i)`lambda_(2)=(h^(2))/(sqrt(2mqV))`
`V=(h^(2))/(sqrt(2mq lambda^(2)))`
`THEREFORE (V_(P))/(V_(alpha))=(2m_(alpha)q_(alpha))/(2m_(p)q_(p))=(2xx4m2q)/(2mq)=(8)/(1)`
`therefore V_(P) : V_(alpha)=8:1`
(ii)`lambda = (h)/(mu), lambda_(P)=(h)/(m_(P)u_(P), lambda_(alpha))=(h)/(m_(alpha)V_(alpha))`
`lambda_(P)=lambda_(alpha)`
`(h)/(m_(P)u_(P))=(h)/(m_(alpha)u_(alpha))`
`(u_(P))/(u_(alpha))=(m_(alpha))/(m_(P))=(4)/(1)=4:1`
