The potential energy of a proton and an electron in a hydrogen atom is given by $V = V_0 \ln \left( \frac{r}{r_0} \right)$,where $r_0$ is a constant. Assuming the system follows the Bohr model,find the relationship between the radius $r_n$ and the principal quantum number $n$.

  • A
    $r_n \propto n$
  • B
    $r_n \propto \frac{1}{n}$
  • C
    $r_n \propto n^2$
  • D
    $r_n \propto \frac{1}{n^2}$
