Practicing Success
In the Bohr model of a hydrogen atom, the centripetal force is furnished by the coulomb attraction between the proton and the electron. If a0 is the radius of the ground state orbit, m is the mass, e is the charge on the electron and ε0 is the vacuum permittivity, the speed of the electron is |
0 $\frac{e}{\sqrt{\varepsilon_0 a_0 m}}$ $\frac{e}{\sqrt{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 a_0 m}}$ $\frac{\sqrt{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 a_0 m}}{e}$ |
$\frac{e}{\sqrt{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 a_0 m}}$ |
$\frac{m v^2}{a_0}=\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{e^2}{a_0^2} \Rightarrow v=\frac{e}{\sqrt{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 a_0 m}}$ |
