Let T1 and T2 be the energy of an electron in the first and second excited states of hydrogen atoms, respectively. According to the Bohr's model of an atom, the ratio T1 : T2 is
- 1 : 4
- 4 : 1
- 4 : 9
- 9 : 4
Answer
(4) 9 : 4
Solution
First excited state n = 2; second excited state n = 3
En = - 13.6n2 eV |En| 1n2
T1T2 = 3222 = 94
Answer: (4)
