STANDARD Physics Bohr's Model MCQ Question
In a hydrogen atom, the radius of nᵗʰ Bohr orbit is rₙ. The graph between log(rₙ/r₁) and log n will be
Graph with positive slope passing through origin
Graph with a curve
Graph with a curve
Graph with a horizontal line
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
We know that rₙ ∝ n² or (rₙ/r₁) = n². Log(rₙ/r₁) = 2logn. Hence, the graph between log(rₙ/r₁) and log n will be a straight line passing through the origin. The positive slope is given by tanθ = 2.
