Question

In Bohr's model of hydrogen atom, let PE represent potential energy and TE the total energy. In going to a higher orbit, (A) PE increases, TE decreases (B) PE decreases, TE increases (C) PE increases, TE increases (D) PE decreases, TE decreases

Potential energy =-C / r2 and total energy =-R h c / n2. With higher orbit, both r and n increase. So, both become less negative; hence both increase.

Q. In Bohr's model of hydrogen atom, let $PE$ represent potential energy and $TE$ the total energy. In going to a higher orbit,

PE increases, TE decreases

PE decreases, TE increases

PE increases, TE increases

PE decreases, TE decreases

Potential energy $= - C / r^{2}$ and total energy $= - R h c / n^{2}$ . With higher orbit, both $r$ and $n$ increase. So, both become less negative; hence both increase.
