    In hydrogen atom, electron excites from ground state to higher energy state and its orbital velocity is reduced to  \[{{\left( \frac{1}{3} \right)}^{rd}}\] of its initial value. The radius of the orbit in the ground state is R. The radius of the orbit in that higher energy state is ...

    A)  \[2R\]   

    B)  \[3R\]   

    C)  \[27R\]  

    D)  \[9R\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    : As per question, \[\frac{{{\upsilon }_{h}}}{{{\upsilon }_{g}}}=\frac{1}{3}\]                             ??..(i) where subscripts h and g denotes higher energy state and ground state. Orbital velocity of electron^ in the nth orbit is \[{{\upsilon }_{n}}=\frac{{{e}^{2}}}{2{{\varepsilon }_{0}}nh}\] or \[{{\upsilon }_{n}}\propto \frac{1}{n}\] For ground state, \[n=1\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{\upsilon }_{h}}}{{{\upsilon }_{g}}}=\frac{1}{n}\] ?...(ii) Equating (i) and (ii), we get \[n=3\] Radius of nth orbit is \[{{r}_{n}}=\frac{{{n}^{2}}{{h}^{2}}{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}{\pi {{e}^{2}}m}\] or \[{{r}_{n}}\propto {{n}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{r}_{3}}}{{{r}_{1}}}=\frac{{{(3)}^{2}}}{{{(1)}^{2}}}=9\] \[{{r}_{3}}=9{{r}_{1}}=9R\](\[\because \] \[{{r}_{1}}=R\](Given))
