The binding energy of a H-atom, consider...

The binding energy of a H-atom, considering an electron moving around a fixed nuclei (proton), is `B=-(me^4)/(8n^2epsilon_0^2h^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^2epsilon_0^2h^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 frame in which the electron is at rest is not initial

D

the motion of the proton would notbe in circular orbits, even approximately

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
When one decides to work in a frame of reference where the electron is at rest , the given expression is not true as it forms the non-inertial frame of reference.

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 refrence where the electron is at rest, the proton would be movig 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
