In Bohr's model of hydrogen atom, let `PE` represents potential energy and `TE` the total energy. In going to a higher level

Options

A. PE increase and TE decrease
B. PE decrease and TE increase
C. PE increase and TE increase
D. PE decrease and TE decrease

Answer

C

Explanation

Potential energy `= - C//r^(2)` and total energy ` =- R h c // n^(2)`. With higher orbit, both `r and n` increase. So both become less negative , hence both increase.
