orbit of
of Bohr's model is
and that of fourth orbit of
is represented as
. Now the ratio
is
. The value of
is
.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
2
(2)
The formula to calculate the radius ( r ) of any
Bohr's orbit is given by

where, r o is Bohr's radius,
is the principal quantum number and
is the atomic number.
Thus, for Helium ion,


And, for the Beryllium ion,


Divide equation (iii) by equation (ii) to obtain the required ratio.
