In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom,the electrostatic force on the electron depends on the principal quantum number $n$ as:

  • A
    $F \propto 1/n^3$
  • B
    $F \propto 1/n^4$
  • C
    $F \propto 1/n^5$
  • D
    Does not depend on $n$

Experimentally it is found that $12.8 \, eV$ energy is required to separate a hydrogen atom into a proton and an electron. The orbital radius of the electron in this hydrogen atom is $\frac{9}{x} \times 10^{-10} \, m$. The value of $x$ is (Given: $1 \, eV = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, J$,$\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \, Nm^2/C^2$,and electronic charge $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, C$)
