In a hydrogen atom, how many times is the radius of fourth orbit compared to that in the second orbit?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

If the principal quantum number of an orbit be n,then radius `r_nprop n^2`
`therefore ("radius of fourth orbit")/("radius of second orbit ")=(4)^2/(2)^2=(16)/(4)=4`
Therefore, the radius of fourth orbit is 4 times than the radius of second orbit.
