$A$ small particle of mass $m$ moves in such a way that its potential energy $U = \frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 r^2$,where $\omega$ is a constant and $r$ is the distance of the particle from the origin. Assuming Bohr's quantization of angular momentum and a circular orbit,the radius of the $n^{\text{th}}$ orbit will be proportional to:

  • A
    $\sqrt{n}$
  • B
    $n$
  • C
    $n^2$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{n}$

The de-Broglie wavelength of the electron in the ground state of the hydrogen atom is ..... (radius of the first orbit of hydrogen atom $= 0.53 \ \text{Å}$). (in $\text{Å}$)

An electron in a hydrogen atom,after absorbing energy photons,can jump between energy states $n_1$ and $n_2$ $(n_2 > n_1)$. It then returns to the ground state,emitting six different wavelengths in the emission spectrum. The energy of the emitted photons can be equal to,less than,or greater than the absorbed photon energy. Determine $n_1$ and $n_2$.
