Question

Problem 44P

The Bohr model of the hydrogen atom pictures the electron as a tiny particle moving in a circular orbit about a stationary proton. In the lowest-energy orbit the distance from the proton to the electron is 5.29 × 10−11 m, and die linear speed of the electron is 2. 18 × 106 m/s. (a) What is the angular speed of the electron? (b) How many orbits about the proton does it make the second? (c) What is the electron's centripetal acceleration?

Solution

Step 1 of 3

In this problem, we have to find the angular speed, calculate the orbit and also the centripetal acceleration.
