The correct Answer is:
To find the velocity of the electron in the hydrogen atom, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Forces Acting on the Electron**: - In a hydrogen atom, the electron is attracted to the nucleus (proton) by the electrostatic force. This force can be expressed using Coulomb's law. 2. **Electrostatic Force Calculation**: - The electrostatic force \( F \) between the electron and the nucleus is given by: \[ F = \frac{e^2}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 r^2} \] where: - \( e \) is the charge of the electron (and also the charge of the nucleus for hydrogen, since \( Z = 1 \)), - \( \epsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of vacuum, - \( r \) is the radius of the orbit. 3. **Centrifugal Force**: - When the electron is in circular motion, it experiences a centrifugal force, which can be expressed as: \[ F_{\text{centrifugal}} = \frac{mv^2}{r} \] where: - \( m \) is the mass of the electron, - \( v \) is the velocity of the electron. 4. **Equate the Forces**: - For the electron to be in stable orbit, the electrostatic force must equal the centrifugal force: \[ \frac{mv^2}{r} = \frac{e^2}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 r^2} \] 5. **Rearranging the Equation**: - Multiply both sides by \( r \) to eliminate \( r \) from the left side: \[ mv^2 = \frac{e^2}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 r} \] 6. **Solving for \( v^2 \)**: - Rearranging gives: \[ v^2 = \frac{e^2}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 m r} \] 7. **Finding Velocity \( v \)**: - Taking the square root of both sides to find \( v \): \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{e^2}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 m r}} = \frac{e}{\sqrt{4 \pi \epsilon_0 m r}} \] ### Final Result: Thus, the velocity of the electron in the hydrogen atom is given by: \[ v = \frac{e}{\sqrt{4 \pi \epsilon_0 m r}} \]
