As per Bohr model of a hydrogen atom for a stable orbit centripetal, Coulomb, and all forces should be in equilibrium. Therefore, for an electron with mass me and speed v₁ on the nth orbit with radius rn, (k being Coulomb/s constant) mevn = ke²/rn mevn² = ke²/rn mevn²/rn = ke²/rn 2.2 Ome²v² = ke²/r²
An electron is orbiting around a nucleus in a hydrogen atom in Bohr 's model with kinetic energy of 8.64✕10-20 J. Determine the allowed orbit in this atom. (Given: Mass of electron, me=9.1✕10-31 kg)
The velocity of electron in the first Bohr orbit of radius 0.5 A.U. is 2.24 x 106 m/s. Calculate the period of revolution of the electron in the same orbit.
