    The ratio of areas within the electron orbits for the first excited state to the ground state for hydrogen atom, is

    A) \[16:1\]                               

    B) \[18:1\]

    C) \[4:1\]                                  

    D) \[2:1\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Radius of orbit\[{{r}_{n}}\propto {{n}^{2}}\] For first excited state\[n=2\] and for ground state,\[n=1\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{{{r}_{2}}}{{{r}_{1}}}={{\left( \frac{2}{1} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{4}{1}\] \[\therefore \]Ratio of areas      \[={{\left( \frac{{{r}_{2}}}{{{r}_{1}}} \right)}^{2}}={{\left( \frac{4}{1} \right)}^{2}}=16:1\]
