Radius of Bohr's orbit in hydrogen atom can be calculated as
r=4π2me2n2h2×Z1 or
r=0.529×Zn2 A˚ where,
n= number of the orbit
Z= atomic number
For hydrogen's third Bohr's orbit,
r3=0.529∵1(3)2 A˚=9×0.529 A˚......(i)
Also
r2=0.529×(2)2 (Given, radius of second Bohr's orbit radius.)
r2=4×0.529 4r2=0.529.....(ii)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii),
r3=9×4r2⇒r3=49r2 Hence, radius of third Bohr's orbit
=49r2Energy of
nth Bohr's orbit is given as
En=n2kZ2 where,
n= number of orbit,
Z= atomic number [For hydrogen,
Z=1 ]
∴E2=k(2)2(1)2 [Given, second Bohr's orbit energy.]
k=E2×4 E2=4k.......(iii)
Also,
E3=k(3)2(1)2=9k.....(iv)
From Eqs. (iii) and (iv),
E3=9E2×4⇒E3=94E2 Hence, energy of third Bohr's orbit is
94E2.
