Options:
  • A $\frac{r_1}{r_2}=4$
  • B $\frac{r_1}{r_2}=\frac{1}{2}$
  • C $\frac{r_2}{r_1}=\frac{1}{4}$
  • D $\frac{r_2}{r_1}=\frac{1}{2}$

The correct answer is: $\frac{r_2}{r_1}=\frac{1}{2}$
$r_n=a_0 \times \frac{n^2}{z}$
$\underline{\text {For H-atom}}$
$r_1=a_0$
$\underline{\text {Also, For}}$ $\underline {\mathrm{He}^{+}}$ - $\underline{\text { ion }}$
$r_2=a_0 \times \frac{1^2}{2}=\frac{r_1}{2}$
$\therefore \frac{r_2}{r_1}=\frac{1}{2}$
