Which of the following curve represents the speed of the electron in a hydrogen atom as a function of the principal quantum number n?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1)
The speed of electron in a hydrogen atom (v) is -
$v=\frac{2\pi m_ee^4}{nh^2}$ [n = Principle quantum number]
$v∝\frac{1}{n}$
