JEE Main 2024 — 27 January, Shift 1 — Question 38

The radius of third stationary orbit of electron for Bohr's atom is R . The radius of fourth stationary orbit will be:

  1. Option A:

    43R\frac{4}{3} R

  2. Option B:

    169R\frac{16}{9} R

    Correct
  3. Option C:

    34R\frac{3}{4} R

  4. Option D:

    916R\frac{9}{16} R

Answer: B

Step-by-step solution

r∝n2Zr \propto \frac{n^{2}}{Z}

r4r3=4232\frac{\mathrm{r}_{4}}{\mathrm{r}_{3}}=\frac{4^{2}}{3^{2}}

r4=169R\mathrm{r}_{4}=\frac{16}{9} \mathrm{R}
