12.Atoms
normal
In an atom, two electrons move around the nucleus in circular orbits of radii $R$ and $4R.$ The ratio of the time taken by them to complete one revolution is : (neglect electric interaction)
A
$1 : 4$
B
$4 : 1$
C
$1 : 8$
D
$8 : 1$
Solution
We know,
$T \propto r^{3 / 2}$
$\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}}=\left(\frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}=\left(\frac{R}{4 R}\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}=\frac{1}{8}$
