The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to use the relationship between the de Broglie wavelength and the kinetic energy of an electron in Bohr orbits. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between wavelength and kinetic energy The de Broglie wavelength (\( \lambda \)) of an electron is given by the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{p} \] where \( p \) is the momentum of the electron, and \( h \) is Planck's constant. The momentum \( p \) can be expressed as: \[ p = mv \] where \( m \) is the mass of the electron and \( v \) is its velocity. ### Step 2: Relate kinetic energy to wavelength The kinetic energy (\( KE \)) of the electron is given by: \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] Using the relationship between momentum and kinetic energy, we can express kinetic energy in terms of wavelength: \[ KE = \frac{p^2}{2m} = \frac{(mv)^2}{2m} = \frac{m v^2}{2} \] Substituting \( v \) from the de Broglie wavelength formula: \[ KE = \frac{h^2}{2m\lambda^2} \] This shows that kinetic energy is inversely proportional to the square of the wavelength: \[ KE \propto \frac{1}{\lambda^2} \] ### Step 3: Set up the ratios Given that the ratio of the wavelengths in two Bohr orbits is \( \frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} = \frac{3}{5} \), we can express this as: \[ \lambda_1 = 3k \quad \text{and} \quad \lambda_2 = 5k \] for some constant \( k \). ### Step 4: Calculate the ratio of kinetic energies From the inverse proportionality, we have: \[ \frac{KE_1}{KE_2} = \frac{\lambda_2^2}{\lambda_1^2} = \frac{(5k)^2}{(3k)^2} = \frac{25k^2}{9k^2} = \frac{25}{9} \] This means: \[ \frac{KE_1}{KE_2} = \frac{25}{x} \] where \( KE_1 = 25 \) and \( KE_2 = x \). ### Step 5: Equate the ratios From the above, we can set up the equation: \[ \frac{25}{x} = \frac{25}{9} \] Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 25 \cdot 9 = 25 \cdot x \] This simplifies to: \[ 225 = 25x \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( x \) Dividing both sides by 25: \[ x = \frac{225}{25} = 9 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \( x \) is: \[ \boxed{9} \]
