Question:

In Bohr’s model, if the atomic radius of the first orbit is $r_0$ , then the radius of the fourth orbit is

Options:

$r_0$

4$r_0$

$r_0$/16

16$r_0$

Correct Answer:

16$r_0$

Explanation:

$r_n \propto n^2 \Rightarrow \frac{r_4}{r_1}=\left(\frac{4}{1}\right)^2=\frac{16}{1} \Rightarrow r_4=16 r_1 \Rightarrow r_4=16 r_0$
