An electron projected perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field B moves in a circle. If Bohr's quantization is applicable, then the radius of the electronic orbit in the first excited state is :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
- Magnetic force provides centripetal force
For an electron moving perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field :
So,
- Apply Bohr quantization
According to Bohr's quantization of angular momentum,
For the first excited state, . Hence,
- Equate (1) and (2)
From (1) and (2):
Therefore,
- Match with options
This corresponds to:
So the correct option is A.
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer: A
My derived answer: A
They agree.
