Consider that an electron is revolving in an excited state of Hydrogen atom with velocity 25.6×105\sqrt{25.6}\times10^5 ms−1^{-1}. The radius of the orbit is x×10−9x\times10^{-9} m. The value of xx is :
[Take the mass of electron to be 9×10−319\times10^{-31} kg, charge of electron =−1.6×10−19=-1.6\times10^{-19} C and 14πϵ0=9×109\dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=9\times10^9 N m2^2 C−2^{-2}]

Options

  1. A11
  2. B44
  3. C33
  4. D22

Correct answer

A. 11

Step-by-step solution

The electrostatic force between the nucleus and the electron provides the necessary centripetal force for the electron to revolve in its orbit.

mv2r=14πϵ0e2r2\dfrac{mv^2}{r} = \dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\dfrac{e^2}{r^2}

Rearranging for the radius rr:

r=14πϵ0e2mv2r = \dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\dfrac{e^2}{mv^2}

Substituting the given values:
14πϵ0=9×109\dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 N m2^2 C−2^{-2}
e=1.6×10−19e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C
m=9×10−31m = 9 \times 10^{-31} kg
v=25.6×105v = \sqrt{25.6} \times 10^5 m s−1^{-1}

r=9×109×(1.6×10−19)29×10−31×(25.6×105)2r = \dfrac{9 \times 10^9 \times (1.6 \times 10^{-19})^2}{9 \times 10^{-31} \times (\sqrt{25.6} \times 10^5)^2}

r=9×109×2.56×10−389×10−31×25.6×1010r = \dfrac{9 \times 10^9 \times 2.56 \times 10^{-38}}{9 \times 10^{-31} \times 25.6 \times 10^{10}}

r=2.56×10−2925.6×10−21r = \dfrac{2.56 \times 10^{-29}}{25.6 \times 10^{-21}}

r=0.1×10−8r = 0.1 \times 10^{-8} m

r=1×10−9r = 1 \times 10^{-9} m

Comparing this with r=x×10−9r = x \times 10^{-9} m, we get:

x=1x = 1
