The ratio of the speed of the electron in the first Bohr orbit of hydrogen and the speed of light is equal to (where e, h and c have their usual meanings) |
$2 \pi h c / e^2$ $e^2 h / 2 \pi c$ $e^2 c / 2 \pi h$ $2 \pi e^2 / h c$ |
$2 \pi e^2 / h c$ |
Speed of electron in nth orbit (in CGS) $v_n=\frac{2 \pi Z e^2}{n h}(k=1)$ For first orbit H2 ; n = 1 and Z = 1 So $v=\frac{2 \pi e^2}{h} \Rightarrow \frac{v}{c}=\frac{2 \pi e^2}{h c}$ |
