In a hydrogen atom, an electron of mass 9.1×10-31 kg revolves about a proton in circular orbit of radius 0.53 A. The radial acceleration and angular velocity of electron are respectively
  1. 9×1022 m s-2,4.1×1016 s-1
  2. 4.1×1016 m s-2,9×1022 s-1
  3. 9×1016 m s-2,4.1×1022 s-1
  4. 4.1×1022 m s-2, 9×1016 s-1

Solution

The centripetal force is equal to the electrostatic force, when
an electron revolves around a proton.

mev2r=kq1q2r2

Rewrite the above equation.

mev2r=kq1q2

me(rω)2r=kqq

ω=kq2mer3

Substitute the given values in the above equation.

ω=9×109×1.6×10-1929.1×10-31×0.53×10-103

ω=4.1×1016 s-1

The radial acceleration of the electron can be calculated as,

ar=rω2

ar=0.53×10-10×4.1×10162

ar=8.9×1022 m s-2

ar9×1022 m s-2
