State Bohr's first and second postulates. Use them to derive an expression for the radius of the $\displaystyle \mathrm{n}^{\text {th }}$ orbit in a hydrogen atom.
Marking-scheme solution
Statements of Bohr's first and second Postulates \(\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}\) Derivation of expression for radius of \(\displaystyle \mathrm{n}^{\text {th }}\) orbit $\displaystyle 2$
Bohr's first postulate An electron in an atom revolves in certain stable orbits without the emission of radiant energy.
Bohr's second postulate Electron revolves around the nucleus only in those orbits for which the angular momentum is integral multiple of \(\displaystyle \frac{h}{2 \pi}\).
Electrostatic force between revolving electron and nucleus provides requisite centripetal force
\[\frac{m v_{\mathrm{n}}^{2}}{r_{\mathrm{n}}}=\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{e^{2}}{r_{\mathrm{n}}^{2}}
