    The ratio of the speed of the electron in the first Bohr orbit of hydrogen and the speed of light is equal to (where e, h and c have their usual meanings)               [MP PMT 2000]

    A)            \[2\pi hc/{{e}^{2}}\]         

    B)            \[{{e}^{2}}h/2\pi c\]

    C)            \[{{e}^{2}}c/2\pi h\]         

    D)            \[2\pi {{e}^{2}}/hc\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                       Speed of electron in nth orbit (in CGS) \[{{v}_{n}}=\frac{2\pi Z{{e}^{2}}}{nh}\](k = 1)                    For first orbit \[{{H}_{2}}\]; n = 1 and Z = 1            So \[v=\frac{2\pi {{e}^{2}}}{h}\] Þ  \[\frac{v}{c}=\frac{2\pi {{e}^{2}}}{hc}\]
