    If in hydrogen atom, radius of nth Bohr orbit is \[{{r}_{n}}\], frequency of revolution of electron in \[{{n}^{th}}\] orbit is \[{{f}_{n}}\], choose the correct option.

    A)   

    B)   

    C)   

    D)  Both  and

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Radius of \[{{n}^{th}}\] orbit, graph \[{{r}_{n}}\propto {{n}^{2}}\] between \[{{r}_{n}}\]and n is a parabola. Also, \[\frac{{{r}_{n}}}{{{r}_{1}}}={{\left( \frac{n}{1} \right)}^{2}}\Rightarrow {{\log }_{e}}\left( \frac{{{r}_{n}}}{{{r}_{1}}} \right)=2{{\log }_{e}}\left( n \right)\] Comparing this equation with \[y=mx+c\]  Graph between \[{{\log }_{e}}\left( \frac{{{r}_{n}}}{{{r}_{1}}} \right)\] and \[{{\log }_{e}}(n)\] will be a straight line, passing from origin.  Similarly it can be proved that graph between \[{{\log }_{e}}\left( \frac{{{f}_{n}}}{{{f}_{1}}} \right)\] and \[{{\log }_{e}}n\] is a straight line. But with negative slops.
