Vedclass · Answer

(B) The velocity of an electron in the $n^{th}$ orbit of a hydrogen-like atom is given by the formula: $v_n = 2.18 	imes 10^8 	imes \frac{Z}{n} \ 	ext{cm s}^{-1}$.For the hydrogen atom,the atomic number $Z = 1$.Thus,$v_n = 2.18 	imes 10^8 	imes \frac{1}{n} \ 	ext{cm s}^{-1}$.For the speed $v_n$ to be maximum,the denominator $n$ must be the smallest possible integer.Since the orbit number $n$ starts from $1$,the speed is maximum at $n = 1$.

In which orbit of the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom is the speed of the electron maximum?
