The electrostatic potential energy of the electron in an orbit of hydrogen is -6.8 eV . The speed of the electron in this orbit is ( C is speed of light in vacuum)
Options
- AC 137
- BC 274
- C2 C 137
- D3 C 137
Correct answer
B. C 274
Step-by-step solution
U =-6.8 eV Total energy, E _ n = U 2 = -6.8 2 =-3.4 eV -13.6 n ^2 =-3.4 n =2 Speed, v _ n = ( C 137 ) 1 n for n =2, v ₂= ( C 137 ) 1 2 = C 274
