1) (25/9)R
2) (16/9)R
3) (36/9)R
4) (9/16)R

To find the radius of the electron in the 4th Bohr’s orbit of hydrogen in terms of \( R \), the radius in the 3rd orbit, we can use the relation of radii of Bohr’s orbits:
\[ R_n = \frac{n^2}{Z} R \]
where:
– \( R_n \) is the radius of the nth orbit,
– \( n \) is the principal quantum number,
– \( Z \) is the atomic number (for hydrogen, \( Z = 1 \)),
– \( R \) is the radius in the first orbit.
Given that the electron is initially in the 3rd orbit (\( n = 3 \)), we have:
\[ R_3 = \frac{3^2}{1} R = 9R \]
Now, to find the radius in the 4th orbit (\( n = 4 \)), we use the same formula:
\[ R_4 = \frac{4^2}{1} R = 16R \]
Therefore, the radius of the electron in the 4th orbit in terms of \( R \) is \( 16R \), which corresponds to option 2) \( \left(\frac{16}{9}\right)R \).
Use the formula Rn =( n^2/Z )*R
For radius in the 4th orbit, put n = 4 and solve
