Alright, let's tackle this problem step by step. I'm going to break it down to understand which of the given expressions for the particle's radius 

r, speed v, angular momentum ratio Lmr2, and total energy E are correct under the given conditions.

Understanding the Problem

We have a particle of mass m moving in a circular orbit under a central force F(r)=kr, which corresponds to the potential energy V(r)=12kr2. The angular momentum L of the particle is quantized according to Bohr's quantization rule:

L=n

where =h2πh is Planck's constant, and n is a positive integer.

We need to determine which of the given expressions for rvLmr2, and E are correct.

Given Options

Let's list the options we need to evaluate:

(A) r2=n1mk

(B) v2=nkm3

(C) Lmr2=km

(D) E=n2km

Step 1: Circular Motion Under Central Force

For a particle moving in a circular orbit under a central force F(r)=kr, the centripetal force required to keep the particle in circular motion is provided by this central force.

The centripetal force is:

Fcentripetal=mv2r

Given the central force:

F(r)=kr

The magnitude of the force is kr, so:

kr=mv2rkr2=mv2v2=kr2mv=rkm(1)

Step 2: Angular Momentum Quantization

Bohr's quantization rule states:

L=n

The angular momentum L for a particle in circular motion is:

L=mvr

So:

mvr=nv=nmr(2)

Step 3: Relating Equations (1) and (2)

From equation (1):

v=rkm

From equation (2):

v=nmr

Set them equal:

rkm=nmr

Multiply both sides by mr:

mr2km=nr2mk=nr2=nmkr2=n1mk

This matches option (A):

(A)r2=n1mkis correct.

Step 4: Finding v2

From equation (1):

v=rkm

Square both sides:

v2=r2km

From the expression for r2 we just found:

r2=nmk

So:

v2=nmkkmv2=nkmmkv2=nkmmv2=nkm3

This matches option (B):

(B)v2=nkm3is correct.

Step 5: Checking Lmr2

Given:

L=n

From the expression for r2:

r2=nmk

So:

Lmr2=nmnmkLmr2=nmkmnLmr2=mkmLmr2=km

This matches option (C):

(C)Lmr2=kmis correct.

Step 6: Total Energy E

The total energy E is the sum of kinetic energy T and potential energy V:

E=T+VT=12mv2

From equation (1):

v=rkm

So:

v2=r2kmT=12mr2km=12kr2

Potential energy:

V=12kr2

So:

E=12kr2+12kr2=kr2

From the expression for r2:

r2=nmk

So:

E=knmkE=nkm

Now, compare with option (D):

(D)E=n2km

Our calculation shows E=nkm, not n2km. Therefore, option (D) is incorrect.

Step 7: Verifying Energy Calculation

Wait a minute, let me double-check the energy calculation because for a harmonic oscillator, the total energy is equally divided between kinetic and potential energy, so E=2×12kr2=kr2, which seems correct.

Alternatively, in quantum mechanics, the energy levels of a harmonic oscillator are En=ω(n+12), where ω=km. But here, we're using Bohr's quantization, which might differ.

Given that, and our consistent derivation leading to E=nkm, option (D) seems to be missing a factor of 2 compared to our result. Thus, option (D) is incorrect as stated.

Conclusion

After carefully analyzing each option:

  • (A) r2=n1mk → Correct

  • (B) v2=nkm3 → Correct

  • (C) Lmr2=km → Correct

  • (D) E=n2km → Incorrect

Final Answer

The correct options are A, B, and C.
