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
, speed , angular momentum ratio , and total energy are correct under the given conditions.
Understanding the Problem
We have a particle of mass moving in a circular orbit under a central force , which corresponds to the potential energy . The angular momentum of the particle is quantized according to Bohr's quantization rule:
where , is Planck's constant, and is a positive integer.
We need to determine which of the given expressions for , , , and are correct.
Given Options
Let's list the options we need to evaluate:
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
Step 1: Circular Motion Under Central Force
For a particle moving in a circular orbit under a central force , the centripetal force required to keep the particle in circular motion is provided by this central force.
The centripetal force is:
Given the central force:
The magnitude of the force is , so:
Step 2: Angular Momentum Quantization
Bohr's quantization rule states:
The angular momentum for a particle in circular motion is:
So:
Step 3: Relating Equations (1) and (2)
From equation (1):
From equation (2):
Set them equal:
Multiply both sides by :
This matches option (A):
Step 4: Finding
From equation (1):
Square both sides:
From the expression for we just found:
So:
This matches option (B):
Step 5: Checking
Given:
From the expression for :
So:
This matches option (C):
Step 6: Total Energy
The total energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy :
From equation (1):
So:
Potential energy:
So:
From the expression for :
So:
Now, compare with option (D):
Our calculation shows , not . 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 , which seems correct.
Alternatively, in quantum mechanics, the energy levels of a harmonic oscillator are , where . But here, we're using Bohr's quantization, which might differ.
Given that, and our consistent derivation leading to , 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) → Correct
(B) → Correct
(C) → Correct
(D) → Incorrect
Final Answer
The correct options are A, B, and C.
