Consider an electron moving in the first Bohr orbit of a $\mathrm{He}^{+}$ion with a velocity $\mathrm{v}_1$. If it is allowed to move in the third Bohr orbit with a velocity $v_3$, then indicate the correct $v_3: v_1$ ratio

  • A
    $3: 1$
  • B
    $2: 1$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $1: 3$
  • D
    $1: 2$

Solution

$v=v_0 \frac{z}{n}$ For 1st orbit of $\mathrm{He}^{+} \quad v_1=v_0 \frac{2}{1}$ For $3^{\text {rd }}$ orbit of $\mathrm{He}^{+} \quad v_3=v_0 \frac{2}{3}$ $v_3: v_1=1: 3$

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