Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

Let T₁ and T₂ be the energy of an electron in the first and second excited states of hydrogen atom, respectively. According to the Bohr’s model of an atom, the ratio T₁ : T₂ is:

A

4 : 9

B

9 : 4

C

1 : 4

D

4 : 1

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The energy levels of a hydrogen atom are proportional to 1/n². For the first and second excited states, n = 2 and n = 3, respectively, giving the ratio 4:9.
