Practice question
Question
The speed of an electron in the first orbit of a hydrogen atom is 2.2 × 10ⶠm/s . What is its speed in the second orbit?
Explanation
Given:
The speed of an electron in the first orbit of a hydrogen atom is 2.2 × 10ⶠm/s . What is its speed in the second orbit?
These values define the system as per NCERT data.
Formula:
v_n = v_1/n, v_1 = 2.2 × 10ⶠm/s.
This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon.
Substitution & Calculation:
For n = 2 : v_2 = 2.2 × 10â¶/2 = 1.1 × 10â¶ m/s .
Result:
The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kgâ»Â¹ Kâ»Â¹, m/s², 10â»âµ are properly used as per NCERT.
