calculate the velocity of the electron in the orbit of hydrogen atom. Compare this speed with the speed of light.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given n = 1 , Assume the necessary data v = ?
`v=(e^(2))/(2epsilon_(0)nh)`
`v=((1.6xx10^(-19))^(2))/(2xx8.85xx10^(-12)xx1xx6.625xx10^(-34))`
`=0.0218xx10^(8)=2.18xx10^(6)ms^(-1)`
`v=((1)/(137))c`
