As the electron in Bohr orbit of Hydrogen atom passes from state n = 2 to n = 1 , the kinetic energy K and potential energy U change as |
K two-fold, U four-fold K four-fold, U two-fold K four-fold, U also four-fold K two-fold, U also two-fold |
K four-fold, U also four-fold |
U = 2E, K = −E and $E=-\frac{13.6}{n^2}= e V$ $\Rightarrow K_n \propto \frac{1}{n^2}$ And $ U_n \propto \frac{1}{n^2}$ As n changes from n= 2 to n= 1, Both K and U changes 4 fold.
