Question : 7 of 26
Marks: +1, -0
Show that the radius of the orbit in hydrogen atom varies as n2, where n is the principal quantum number of the atom.
Solution:  
Showing that the radius of orbit varies as n2
mv2r=14πε0e2r2
or mv2r=14πε0e2 .......(i)
mvr=nh2π
m2v2r2=n2h24π2 .......(ii)
Divide (ii) by (i)
mr=n2h24π2×4πε0e2
r=n2h24π2me24πε0
rn2
