The correct Answer is:
To determine which products in a hydrogen atom are independent of the principal quantum number \( n \), we need to analyze the relationships between various quantities in the hydrogen atom. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Relationships**: - The velocity \( v \) of an electron in a hydrogen atom is inversely proportional to the principal quantum number \( n \): \[ v \propto \frac{1}{n} \] - The energy \( E \) of the electron is inversely proportional to the square of \( n \): \[ E \propto \frac{1}{n^2} \] - The radius \( r \) of the electron's orbit is proportional to the square of \( n \): \[ r \propto n^2 \] 2. **Evaluate Each Option**: - **Option 1: \( \omega^2 r \)**: - We know that \( \omega \) (angular frequency) can be expressed as: \[ \omega = \frac{v}{r} \] - Thus, \( \omega^2 = \left(\frac{v}{r}\right)^2 \). - Substituting the proportionalities: \[ \omega \propto \frac{1/n}{n^2} = \frac{1}{n^3} \implies \omega^2 \propto \frac{1}{n^6} \] - Therefore, \( \omega^2 r \) becomes: \[ \omega^2 r \propto \frac{1}{n^6} \cdot n^2 = \frac{1}{n^4} \] - This indicates that \( \omega^2 r \) is dependent on \( n \). - **Option 2: \( \frac{E}{v^2} \)**: - Substituting the proportionalities: \[ \frac{E}{v^2} \propto \frac{1/n^2}{(1/n)^2} = \frac{1/n^2}{1/n^2} = 1 \] - This shows that \( \frac{E}{v^2} \) is independent of \( n \). - **Option 3: \( v^2 r \)**: - Using the relationships: \[ v^2 r \propto \left(\frac{1}{n}\right)^2 \cdot n^2 = \frac{1}{n^2} \cdot n^2 = 1 \] - This indicates that \( v^2 r \) is also independent of \( n \). - **Option 4: \( \frac{E}{c} \)**: - Since \( c \) is a constant, we have: \[ \frac{E}{c} \propto \frac{1/n^2}{c} \propto \frac{1}{n^2} \] - This shows that \( \frac{E}{c} \) is dependent on \( n \). 3. **Conclusion**: - The products that are independent of the principal quantum number \( n \) are: - \( \frac{E}{v^2} \) - \( v^2 r \) ### Final Answer: The correct options are **Option 2** and **Option 3**.
