Modern Physics 1 Question 21

18. 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.

(2003, 2M)

(a) rnn

(b) rn1n

(c) rnn2

(d) rn1n2

Show Answer

Solution:

U=eV=eV0lnrr0|F|=|dUdr|=eV0r

This force will provide the necessary centripetal force. Hence, mv2r=eV0r

 or v=eV0m Moreover, mvr=nh2π

Dividing Eq. (ii) by (i), we have

mr=nh2πmeV0 or rnn
