The binding energy of a H-atom consid...

The binding energy of a H-atom considering an electron moving around a fixed nuclei (proton), is
`B = - (me^(4))/(8n^(2)epsi_(0)^(2)h^(2))` (m= electron mass)
If one decides to work in a frame of reference where the electron is at rest, the proton would be moving around it. By similar arguments, the binding energy would be :
`B = - (me^(4))/(8n^(2)epsi_(0)^(2)h^(2))` (M = proton mass)
This last expression is not correct, because

A

n would not be integral

B

Bohr-quantisation applies only two electron

C

the fram in which the electron is at rest is not inertial

D

the motion of the proton would not bein circular orbits, even approximately.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

When one decides to work in a frame of referenc where the electron is at rest, the give expression is not true as it forms the non-inetrial frame of reference.
