(R) according to classical physics, all moving electron radiate.

A

Text Solution

The correct Answer is:
B

According to classical physics, all moving charged particle radiate electromagnetic radiation. So moving electrons will also radiate energy. If we see the atomic structure we find that electrons revolve around the nucleus in some particular orbit. Bohr termed therse orbit as the stationary orbits as the electrons do not radiate energy as long as they are moving in these orbits. This is one Bohr's postulates. This postulate is based on the fact that if the moving electrons radiate thereby losing energy, they have got a chance to finally fall back onto the necleus and the atom will be collapsed.
