State Bohr's postulate to explain stable orbits in a hydrogen atom. Prove that the speed with which the electron revolves in nth orbit is proportional to (1n). 3
Solution:
Bohr's postulate to explain stable orbits in a hydrogen atom:The stationary orbits are those orbits for which the angular momentum of the electron is an integral multiple of h2π, where h is Planck's constant.
Electron in an atom revolves because of the balance of Coulomb force of attraction between the protons and electrons and the centripetal force.
In nth orbit, mvn2rn=14πε0e2rn2
vn=e4πε0mrn....(i)
Again, rn=ε0h2n2e2πm...(ii)
Putting in equation (i)
vn=e4πε0mε0h2n2e2πm
=e22ε0hm
vn1n
