The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding Bohr's atomic theory and determine which of the given statements is correct, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Potential Energy of Electron The potential energy (PE) of an electron in a hydrogen-like atom can be expressed as: \[ PE \propto -\frac{Z^2}{n^2} \] Where: - \( Z \) is the atomic number, - \( n \) is the principal quantum number. **Conclusion for Option (a)**: The expression given as \( PE \propto \frac{Z^2}{n^2} \) is incorrect because it should be negative. Thus, Option (a) is **not correct**. ### Step 2: Analyze Product of Velocity of Electron and Principal Quantum Number The velocity \( v \) of an electron in a Bohr orbit is given by: \[ v \propto \frac{Z}{n} \] If we multiply the velocity by the principal quantum number \( n \): \[ v \cdot n \propto Z \] The statement claims that \( v \cdot n \propto -Z^2 \), which is incorrect. **Conclusion for Option (b)**: The expression given is incorrect. Thus, Option (b) is **not correct**. ### Step 3: Analyze Frequency of Revolution of Electron The frequency \( f \) of an electron in an orbit can be derived from the expression: \[ f \propto \frac{Z^2}{n^3} \] This means that frequency is directly proportional to \( Z^2 \) divided by \( n^3 \). **Conclusion for Option (c)**: The expression \( f \propto \frac{Z^2}{n^3} \) is correct. Thus, Option (c) is **correct**. ### Step 4: Analyze Coulombic Force of Attraction on the Electron The Coulombic force \( F \) acting on the electron can be expressed as: \[ F \propto \frac{Z^2}{n^4} \] The statement claims that \( F \propto \frac{Z^2}{n^2} \), which is incorrect. **Conclusion for Option (d)**: The expression given is incorrect. Thus, Option (d) is **not correct**. ### Final Conclusion Based on the analysis: - Option (a) is incorrect. - Option (b) is incorrect. - Option (c) is correct. - Option (d) is incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer according to Bohr's atomic theory is **Option (c)**. ---
