The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the graphs related to the radius, frequency, and area of the nth Bohr orbit in a hydrogen atom, we will analyze each aspect step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the Radius of the nth Bohr Orbit The radius of the nth Bohr orbit in a hydrogen atom is given by the formula: \[ r_n \propto n^2 \] For hydrogen (where \(Z = 1\)), this can be expressed as: \[ r_n = k \cdot n^2 \] where \(k\) is a proportionality constant. **Graph Analysis:** - If we plot \(r_n\) (y-axis) against \(n\) (x-axis), the relationship is quadratic. Therefore, the graph will be a parabola opening upwards. **Conclusion for Step 1:** The graph between \(r_n\) and \(n\) is correct and should be a parabolic curve. ### Step 2: Analyze the Logarithmic Relationship of Radius Next, we consider the logarithmic relationship: \[ \frac{r_n}{r_1} \propto n^2 \] Taking logarithms: \[ \log\left(\frac{r_n}{r_1}\right) = \log(n^2) = 2 \log(n) \] This indicates a linear relationship where the slope \(m = 2\). **Graph Analysis:** - If we plot \(\log\left(\frac{r_n}{r_1}\right)\) (y-axis) against \(\log(n)\) (x-axis), we will get a straight line with a positive slope of 2. **Conclusion for Step 2:** The graph between \(\log\left(\frac{r_n}{r_1}\right)\) and \(\log(n)\) is correct and is a straight line. ### Step 3: Analyze the Area of the nth Bohr Orbit The area \(A_n\) enclosed by the nth orbit is given by: \[ A_n \propto r_n^2 \propto (n^2)^2 = n^4 \] Taking the ratio: \[ \frac{A_n}{A_1} \propto n^4 \] Taking logarithms: \[ \log\left(\frac{A_n}{A_1}\right) = 4 \log(n) \] This indicates a linear relationship with slope \(m = 4\). **Graph Analysis:** - If we plot \(\log\left(\frac{A_n}{A_1}\right)\) (y-axis) against \(n\) (x-axis), we will get a straight line with a positive slope of 4. **Conclusion for Step 3:** The graph between \(\log\left(\frac{A_n}{A_1}\right)\) and \(n\) is correct and is a straight line. ### Step 4: Analyze the Frequency of Revolution The frequency \(f_n\) of the electron in the nth orbit is inversely proportional to \(n^3\): \[ f_n \propto \frac{1}{n^3} \] Thus, taking the ratio: \[ \frac{f_n}{f_1} \propto \frac{1}{n^3} \] Taking logarithms: \[ \log\left(\frac{f_n}{f_1}\right) = -3 \log(n) \] This indicates a linear relationship with a negative slope \(m = -3\). **Graph Analysis:** - If we plot \(\log\left(\frac{f_n}{f_1}\right)\) (y-axis) against \(n\) (x-axis), we will get a straight line with a negative slope. **Conclusion for Step 4:** The graph between \(\log\left(\frac{f_n}{f_1}\right)\) and \(n\) is incorrect if it is shown as a positive slope. ### Final Summary of Graphs: 1. **Graph of \(r_n\) vs. \(n\)**: Correct (Parabolic) 2. **Graph of \(\log\left(\frac{r_n}{r_1}\right)\) vs. \(\log(n)\)**: Correct (Straight Line, slope = 2) 3. **Graph of \(\log\left(\frac{A_n}{A_1}\right)\) vs. \(n\)**: Correct (Straight Line, slope = 4) 4. **Graph of \(\log\left(\frac{f_n}{f_1}\right)\) vs. \(n\)**: Incorrect (Should have negative slope)
