Question : 12 of 16
Marks: +1, -0
The energy of an electron revolving in the nth orbit in Bohr model of hydrogen atom is proportional to:
Solution:  
For a hydrogen atom, this expression simplifies to En=  13.6n2E_n = -\;\frac{13.6}{n^2} eV. From this relation, we observe that:
En  1n2E_n \propto \;\frac{1}{n^2}
As n increases, the energy becomes less negative (i.e., increases) and approaches zero as n → ∞.
The energy is proportional to   1n2\;\frac{1}{n^2}
