[NCERT 1981; AIIMS 2001]
Options:
A) Same as that of A
B) Twice as that of A.
C) Four times that of A
D) Eight times that of A
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
Energy $ \propto a^{2}n^{2} $
Therefore $ \frac{a _{B}}{a _{A}}=\frac{n _{B}}{n _{A}} $ ($ \because $ energy is same)
Therefore $ \frac{a _{B}}{a _{A}}=\frac{8}{1} $
