Q83 / 90 · JEE Main 2017 (09 Apr Online) · Physics

The acceleration of an electron in the first orbit of the hydrogen atom (n=1) is :

  • A
    h24πm2r3
  • B
    h2π2m2r3
  • C
    h28π2m2r3
  • Correct answer
    D
    h24π2m2r3

Solution

For H-atom  n=1

mv2r=14πϵoe2r2  ...1

mvr=h2π  ...2

On squaring (2)

m2v2r2=h24π2

On dividing both sides by r3 ,

m2v2r=h24πr3 ⇒v2r=h24π2r3m2

Acceleration= h24π2r3m2.

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