Q. The electric potential between a proton and an electron is given by V=V0lnrr0 where r0 is a constant. Assuming Bohr’s model to be applicable, write variation of rn with n , n being the principal quantum number.

Solution:

U = eV = eV0 ln (rr0)
|F|=|dUdr|=eV0r
This force provides necessary centripetal force.
Hence, mv2r=eV0r
Or v=eV0m ... (i)
Moreover, mvr=nh2π ... (ii)
Dividing Eq. (ii) by (i), we have
mr=(nh2π)m(eV)0 or rnn
