MCQ
Circumference of the first orbit of hydrogen atom is given by the formula :
  • A
    $\frac{22}{7} \alpha _0$
  • B
    $\frac{\pi \alpha _0}{2}$
  • $\sqrt 4 \pi \alpha _0$
  • D
    $\pi \alpha _0$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\sqrt 4 \pi \alpha _0$
c
Circumference $=2 \pi r$

We have,

$r =\frac{ h ^2 \times n ^2}{4 \pi^2 me ^2} \cdot \frac{1}{ Z ^2}$

Hydrogen atom with $Z =1$ and $n =1$ radius is given by,

$r=\frac{h^2}{4 \pi^2 m^2}=a_0$

Therefore,

Circumference $=2 \pi a _0=\sqrt{4} \pi a _0$
