According to Bohr's model of hydrogen atom, which of the following statement is incorrect?

(1)Radius of 4th orbit is four times larger than that of 2nd orbit
(2)Radius of 6th orbit is three times larger than that of 4th orbitCorrect
(3)Radius of 8th orbit is four times larger than that of 4th orbit
(4)Radius of 3rd orbit is nine times larger than that of 1st orbit

Answer: (2)
