The acceleration of an electron in the first orbit of the hydrogen atom (n = 1) is :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
- Use Bohr’s quantization condition for the first orbit
For the electron in the first Bohr orbit ,
So,
- Write centripetal acceleration
The electron moves in a circular orbit, so its acceleration is centripetal:
Substitute from above:
- Simplify
- Match with the options
This matches:
So the correct option is C.
