Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(8.4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(V _{ n } \propto \frac{ Z }{ n }\)

\(Z =1, \therefore V _{ n } \propto \frac{1}{ n }\)

\(\therefore \frac{ V _3}{ V _7}=\frac{7}{3}\)

\(\therefore V _3 =\frac{7}{3} V _7\)

\(=\frac{7}{3} \times 3.6 \times 10^6\,m / s\)

\(=8.4 \times 10^6\,m / s\)
