Bohr velocityHardQuestion 600229

Question

The velocity of an electron in the nth orbit of hydrogen is proportional to:
  1. A
    n
  2. B
    1/n
    Correct
  3. C
    n²
  4. D
    1/n²

Correct answer

1/n

Explanation

From Bohr's quantisation: v = Ze²/(nħ) ∝ 1/n. As n increases, orbital radius grows and speed decreases.
