Question:

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.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

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.
\[ f=\frac{1.1\times10^6} {2\pi(2.12\times10^{-10})} \] \[ f\approx8.25\times10^{14}Hz \] \[ \boxed{8.25\times10^{14}Hz} \]
