If an electron is moving in the n th orbit of the hydrogen atom, then its velocity ( v n ) for the n th orbit is given as:
Options
- Av n ∝ n
- Bv n ∝ 1 n
- Cv n ∝ n 2
- Dv n ∝ 1 n 2
Correct answer
B. v n ∝ 1 n
Step-by-step solution
We know velocity of electron in n th  shell of hydrogen atom is given by v = 2 π k Z e 2 n h ∴ v ∝ 1 n
