The radius of second orbit of hydrogen atom is 2.12 Å and the velocity of the electron revolving in this orbit is $1.1\times10^6 ms^{-1}$. According to classical electromagnetic theory, the initial frequency of light emitted by this electron is nearly}
Show Hint
In classical atomic theory, the emitted radiation frequency equals the orbital frequency of the revolving electron.
Concept:
According to classical theory, an accelerating charge emits electromagnetic radiation having frequency equal to the frequency of revolution.
Therefore,
\[
f=\frac{v}{2\pi r}
\]
Step 1: Convert radius into SI unit.
\[
r=2.12\AA
\]
\[
r=2.12\times10^{-10}m
\]
Step 2: Calculate orbital frequency.
\[
f=\frac{1.1\times10^6}
{2\pi(2.12\times10^{-10})}
\]
\[
f\approx8.25\times10^{14}Hz
\]
\[
\boxed{8.25\times10^{14}Hz}
\]
