To find the number of revolutions made by the electron in a hydrogen atom excited to the n = 2 state before it jumps to the ground state, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the radius of the electron's orbit in the n = 2 state. The formula for the radius \( r \) of the electron in the nth orbit of a hydrogen atom is given by: \[ r_n = a_0 \cdot \frac{n^2}{Z} \] ...
