Atoms - Result Question 13

14. Consider $3^{\text{rd }}$ orbit of $He^{+}$(Helium), using nonrelativistic approach, the speed of electron in this orbit will be [given $K=9 \times 10^{9}$ constant, $Z=2$ and $h$ (Plank’s Constant) $.=6.6 \times 10^{-34} J s]$

[2015]

(a) $1.46 \times 10^{6} m / s$

(b) $0.73 \times 10^{6} m / s$

(c) $3.0 \times 10^{8} m / s$

(d) $2.92 \times 10^{6} m / s$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 14. (a)

Solution:

  1. (a) Speed of electron in nth orbit

$v_n=\frac{2 \pi KZe^{2}}{nh}$

$v=(2.19 \times 10^{6} m / s) \frac{Z}{n}$

$v=(2.19 \times 10^{6}) \frac{2}{3}(Z=2$ and $n=3)$

$v=1.46 \times 10^{6} m / s$
