According to Maxwell's theory of electron dynamics, an electron going in a circle should emit radiation of frequency equal to its frequency of revolution. What should be the wavelength of the radiation emitted by a hydrogen atom in the ground state if this rule is followed?

Answer

5

Explanation

`T=(2pir_(1))/(V_(1))`
`F=(V_(1))/(2pir_(1))=(2.188xx10^(6))/(2pixx0.53xx10^(-10)) =0.65 xx10^(16)`
`C=F lambdarArr lambda=C/F =(3xx10^(8))/(0.65xx10^(-16)) =4.56 xx10^(-8)m`
