### Step-by-Step Solution **1. Definition of Electronic Waste (E-waste):** Electronic waste, commonly known as e-waste, refers to discarded electrical or electronic devices. It is classified as solid waste and falls under the category of non-degradable waste materials. This means that e-waste does not break down naturally in the environment. **2. Sources of E-waste:** E-waste originates from various electronic gadgets and appliances that are no longer in use or are irreparable. Common sources include: - **Televisions:** Old or broken TVs that are discarded. ...

Niels Bohr a Danish physicist received his PhD from the University of Copenhagen in 1911. He that spent a year with J.J. Thomson and Ernest Rutherford in England. In 1913, he returned to Copenhagen Where he remained for the rest of his life. In 1920 he was named Director of the Institute of theory! Physics After first World War Bohr worked energetically for peaceful uses of atomic energy recieved the first Atoms for Peace award in 1957 Bohr was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 1922 (a) The Angular momentum of an electron in a given stationary state can be expressed as m_e vr =h/(2pi) where n=1, 2,3 ...... Thus an electron can move only in those orbits for which its angular momentum is integral multiple of h/2 pi that is why only certain fixed orbits are alowed (b) The radii of the stationary states are expressed as r_n=n^2a_0 where a_0 =52.9 pm. Thus the radius the first stationary state, called the Bohr radius, is 52.9 pm. Normally the electron in the hydrogen atom is found in this orbit (that is n =1). As n increases the value of r will increase (c) The most important property associated with the electron E_n=-2.18xx10^(-18)(Z^2/n^2)J n=1,2,3 (d)it is also possible to calculate to calculate the velocities of electrons moving in these orbits by using v_n=2.18 10^6xxZ/n m/sec.
