According to Bohr's model of hydrogen atom, relation between principal quantum number $n$ and radius of stable orbit is

A
$r \propto \frac{1}{n}$
B
$r \propto n$
C
$r \propto \frac{1}{n^2}$
Correct answer
D
$r \propto n^2$

Solution

According to Bohr's model, relation between principal quantum number ( $n$ ) and radius of stable orbit $(r)$ are related as $r \propto n^2$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
