Question:

For electron moving in nth orbit of H-atom the angular velocity is proportional to

Options:

n

1/n

n3

1/n3

Correct Answer:

1/n3

Explanation:

Radius of nth orbital is $ r_n \propto n^2$

Velocity of electron in nth orbital is $ v_n \propto \frac{1}{n}$

$\Rightarrow \text{ Angular Velocity } \propto \frac{v_n}{r_n} = \frac{1}{n^3}$
