An electron revolving in n^textth$n^{\text{th}}$ Bohr orbit has magnetic moment mu_mathrmn$\mu_{\mathrm{n}}$. If mu_mathrmn propto n^mathrmx$\mu_{\mathrm{n}} \propto n^{\mathrm{x}}$, the value of mathbfx$\mathbf{x}$ is:

Even though it is the 5^textth$5^{\text{th}}$ excited state, the ratio remains frac12$\frac{1}{2}$. ### Pattern Recognition Energy relationships in Bohr orbits (and planetary motion): K = -E = -U/2$K = -E = -U/2$. The state number (n$n$) is given solely as a distractor. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Atoms

Then, use the combinatorics formula to find the total possible downward emission transitions. ### Step 1: Find Quantum State E_n = -frac13.6n^2$$E_n = -\frac{13.6}{n^2}$$ -0.85 = -frac13.6n^2$$-0.85 = -\frac{13.6}{n^2}$$ n^2 = frac13.60.85 = 16$$n^2 = \frac{13.6}{0.85} = 16$$ n = 4$n = 4$ ### Step 2: Calculate Transitions Maximum number of transitions from n=4$n=4$ to lower levels (n=3, 2, 1$n=3, 2, 1$): = fracn(n - 1)2$$= \frac{n(n - 1)}{2}$$ = frac4(4 - 1)2 = frac122 = 6$$= \frac{4(4 - 1)}{2} = \frac{12}{2} = 6$$ ### Pattern Recognition Energy states in Hydrogen are heavily standardized: n=1 rightarrow -13.6$n=1 \rightarrow -13.6$, n=2 rightarrow -3.4$n=2 \rightarrow -3.4$, n=3 rightarrow -1.51$n=3 \rightarrow -1.51$, n=4 rightarrow -0.85$n=4 \rightarrow -0.85$. Recognize -0.85 mathrm~eV$-0.85 \mathrm{~eV}$ as state 4 immediately. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Atoms

For Lyman 1st and 2nd, the ratio is (3/4) / (8/9) = 27/32$(3/4) / (8/9) = 27/32$. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Atoms
