  • D (A) and (D) only

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

According to Bohr's theory,

I. KE∝Z2n2KE \propto {{{Z^2}} \over {{n^2}}} or 13.6∝Z2n2(eV)(atom)′13.6 \propto {{{Z^2}} \over {{n^2}}}{{(eV)} \over {(atom)'}}

( ∴\therefore Correct)

II. Speed of electron ∝Zn\propto {Z \over n}

(Here, Z = atomic number, n = number of shells)

∴\therefore v×n∝Zv \times n \propto Z ( ∴\therefore Incorrect)

III. Frequency of revolution of electron =v2πr= {v \over {2\pi r}}

Frequency ∝Z2n3\propto {{{Z^2}} \over {{n^3}}} ( ∵\because v∝zn,r∝n2zv \propto {z \over n},r \propto {{{n^2}} \over z} ) ( ∴\therefore Incorrect)
