Problem 6SL

As a rough rule, anything traveling faster than about 0.1c is called relativistic—that is, special relativity is a significant effect. Determine the speed of an electron in a hydrogen atom (radius 0.53 X 10-10 m) and state whether or not it is relativistic. (Treat the electron as though it were in a circular orbit around the proton. See hint for Problem 46.)
