Which of the following best states what a “stationary orbit” means in Bohr’s atomic model? (a) An electron moves in an elliptical path with its energy varying at every point.\text{An electron moves in an elliptical path with its energy varying at every point.} (b) An electron revolves in a fixed circular path around the nucleus without radiating energy.\text{An electron revolves in a fixed circular path around the nucleus without radiating energy.} (c) An electron remains perfectly motionless at the centre of the nucleus.\text{An electron remains perfectly motionless at the centre of the nucleus.} (d) An electron revolves in a fixed circular path around the nucleus while continuously emitting radiation.\text{An electron revolves in a fixed circular path around the nucleus while continuously emitting radiation.}
