Q45 / 201 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Atomic Physics

In the hydrogen atom, the electron is moving around the nucleus with velocity 2.18 × 106 m s-1 in an orbit of radius 0.528 A∘. The acceleration of the electron is

  • A
    9 ×1018 m s-2
  • Correct answer
    B
    9 × 1022 m s-2
  • C
    9 × 10-22 m s-2
  • D
    9 × 1012 m s-2

Solution

Given, v=2.18 ×106 m s-1, r=0.528 × 10-10 m

Acceleration of electron moving round the nucleus

             a = 2.18 ×10620.528 ×10-10≈ 9 ×1022 m s-2

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