If the velocity of the revolving electron of He+ in the first orbit (n=1) is v, the velocity of the electron in the second orbit is:

  • A
    v
  • Correct answer
    B
    0.5v
  • C
    0.25v
  • D
    2v

Solution

For single electron species vn∝1n
v2v1=n1n2=12
v2=12v1=12v=v2=0.5v

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
