AP Physics 2
15.2 The Bohr Model of Atomic Structure
In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, an electron in the ground state (\(n = 1\)) orbits the nucleus at a radius \(r_1\). The electron absorbs a photon and is excited to the state corresponding to principal quantum number \(n = 3\). What is the orbital radius of the electron in this excited state in terms of \(r_1\)?
