Q40 · Physics

Consider that an electron is revolving in an excited state of Hydrogen atom with velocity 25.6×105\sqrt{25.6}\times10^5 ms−1^{-1}. The radius of the orbit is x×10−9x\times10^{-9} m. The value of x is :

[Take the mass of electron to be 9×10−319\times10^{-31} kg, charge of electron = −1.6×10−19-1.6\times10^{-19} C and 14πϵ0=9×109\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=9\times10^9 N m2^2 C−2^{-2}]
