Bohr Model: Orbits, Speed & Angular Momentum

The ratio of speed of an electron in the ground state in the Bohr's first orbit of hydrogen atom to velocity of light (c)(c) is ( h=h = Planck's constant, ε0=\varepsilon_0 = permittivity of free space, e=e = charge on electron)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Bohr speed vn=Ze22ε0nhv_n = \frac{Ze^2}{2\varepsilon_0 nh}; for H, n=1n = 1: v1=e22ε0hv_1 = \frac{e^2}{2\varepsilon_0 h}
  2. v1c=e22ε0hc\frac{v_1}{c} = \frac{e^2}{2\varepsilon_0 hc}
  3. So the answer is (c) e22ε0hc\frac{e^2}{2\varepsilon_0 hc}.
