Question:

The radius of electron's second stationary orbit in Bohr's atom is R. The radius of the third orbit will be

Options:

3 R

2.25 R

9 R

$\frac{R}{3}$

Correct Answer:

2.25 R

Explanation:

$r \propto n^2 \Rightarrow \frac{r_{(n=2)}}{r_{(n=3)}}=\frac{4}{9} \Rightarrow r_{(n=3)}=\frac{9}{4} R=2.25 R$
