What is the Orbit of Hydrogen Atom for an Electron at 734 km/s?

[gruba]

Homework Statement

On which orbit of hydrogen atom an electron has the speed of 734 km/s?

Homework Equations

Bohr's second postulate: mvr=nh,m=9.109\cdot 10^{-31}kg,v=734 km/s,h=6.626\cdot 10^{-34} m^{2}kg/s

The Attempt at a Solution

By using the second Bohr's postulate, we get 6686.006\cdot 10^{-28}r=6.626\cdot 10^{-34}n

Question: What is the value of radius of orbit of electron, r?

If we set that r=0.0529 nm, then we get n=0.053 and n should be positive integer.

If we set that r=0.0529 nm

That value is for the first Bohr orbit, $n=1$. For $n > 1$, the radius is bigger. You need another equation relating $r$ to $n$ or $r$ to $v$.

That value is for the first Bohr orbit, $n=1$. For $n > 1$, the radius is bigger. You need another equation relating $r$ to $n$ or $r$ to $v$.

What is that equation?

 

[DrClaude]

You can use the equation that balances the centripetal force and the Coulomb force. Don't you have that equation in your notes/textbook?
