Q.
The electric potential between a proton and an electron is r given by V=V0inr0r, where r0 is a constant. Assuming Bohr's model to be applicable, write variation of rn with n, n being the principal quantum number.
U=eV=eV0in(r0r) ∣F∣=∣∣−drdU∣∣=reV0
This force will provide the necessary centripetal force.
Hence, rmv2=reV0
or v=meV0...(i)
Moreover, mvr=2πnh...(ii)
Dividing Eq. (ii) by (i), we have
or rn∝n
