The velocity of the electron in the nth orbit is given by vn = 2.2 × 10⁶ / n m/s. What is the velocity of the electron in the 2nd orbit?
Q1. The velocity of the electron in the nth orbit is given by vn = 2.2 × 10⁶ / n m/s. What is the velocity of the electron in the 2nd orbit?
Answer: 1.1 × 10⁶ m/s
Explanation: Substitute n = 2 in vn = 2.2 × 10⁶ / n m/s to get v2 = 2.2 × 10⁶ / 2 = 1.1 × 10⁶ m/s.
