Using relevant Bohr's postulates establish an expression for the speed of the electron in nth orbit of hydrogen atom.

Answer»

SOLUTION :For revolution of an electron in nith Bohr orbit in a hydrogen atom the centripetal force is provided by coulombian attractive force. Hence
`(m v_(n)^(2))/(r_(n)) = (1)/(4 pi in_(0)) .(e^(2))/(r_(n)^(2)) rArr m v_(n)^(2) r_(n) = (e^(2))/(4 pi in_(0))""........(i)`
Again from Bohr quantum CONDITION, we have
`m v_(n) r_(n) = (n h)/(2 pi)""...........(IV)`
Dividing (i) by (ii), we get
` v_(n)= (e^(2))/(2 in_(0) n h)`
