The ratio of angular frequency (\omega)ofanelectrontothetotalenergy(E)ofanelectroninthefirstorbitofhydrogenatomis(h) of an electron to the total energy ( E) of an electron in the first orbit of hydrogen atom is (h is the Plank's constant)

Options

  1. A−h/4π- h /4\pi
  2. B−4π/h- 4\pi / h
  3. C−2π/h- 2\pi / h
  4. D−h/2π- h / 2\pi

Correct answer

B. −4π/h- 4\pi / h

Step-by-step solution

The total energy of an electron in an orbit is given by E=−12mv2E = - \dfrac{1}{2} m v^2.

The angular frequency is ω=vr\omega = \dfrac{v}{r}, which gives v=ωrv = \omega r.

Substituting vv in the energy expression:

E=−12mω2r2E = - \dfrac{1}{2} m \omega^2 r^2

The ratio of angular frequency to total energy is:

ωE=ω−12mω2r2=−2mωr2\dfrac{\omega}{E} = \dfrac{\omega}{- \dfrac{1}{2} m \omega^2 r^2} = \dfrac{-2}{m \omega r^2}

From Bohr's quantization rule for angular momentum:

mvr=nh2πm v r = \dfrac{nh}{2\pi}

mωr2=nh2πm \omega r^2 = \dfrac{nh}{2\pi}

For the first orbit of the hydrogen atom, n=1n = 1:

mωr2=h2πm \omega r^2 = \dfrac{h}{2\pi}

Substituting this value in the ratio expression:

ωE=−2h2π=−4πh\dfrac{\omega}{E} = \dfrac{-2}{\dfrac{h}{2\pi}} = -\dfrac{4\pi}{h}

Answer: −4π/h- 4\pi / h
