Chapter 39: Problem 23
(a) Using the Bohr model, calculate the speed of the electron in a hydrogen atom in the \(n\) = 1, 2, and 3 levels. (b) Calculate the orbital period in each of these levels. (c) The average lifetime of the first excited level of a hydrogen atom is 1.0 \(\times\) 10\(^{-8}\) s. In the Bohr model, how many orbits does an electron in the \(n\) = 2 level complete before returning to the ground level?
