What is the frequency of the electron in the first orbit of hydrogen atom of orbital radius \(0.5 \times 10^{-10}\)m, if its orbital velocity in that orbit is \(2.2 \times 10^6\ ms^{-1}\).

  1. A \(3.49 \times 10^{13}\) Hz
  2. B \(7.0 \times 10^{13}\) Hz
  3. C \(7.0 \times 10^{15}\) Hz
  4. D \(3.49 \times 10^{15}\) Hz
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(7.0 \times 10^{15}\) Hz

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The frequency \(\nu\) of the electron in its circular orbit is given by the formula: \(\nu = \dfrac{v}{2\pi r}\) Substituting the given values \(v = 2.2 \times 10^6 \text{ ms}^{-1}\) and \(r = 0.5 \times 10^{-10} \text{ m}\):…
