Question

Two electrons are moving in orbits of two hydrogen like atoms with speeds $3 \times 10^{5}\text{ }m/s$ and $2.5 \times 10^{5}\text{ }m/s$ respectively. If the radii of these orbits are nearly same then the possible order of energy states are $\_\_\_\_$ respectively.

Options

A.6 and 5
B.9 and 8
C.8 and 10
D.10 and 12

Solution

(4) 10 and 12

Sol. $V \propto \frac{Z}{n}$

$$r \propto \frac{n^{2}}{Z} $$Thus ; $r \propto \frac{n}{V}$

Radii are same then

$${\frac{n_{1}}{{\text{ }V}_{1}} = \frac{n_{2}}{{\text{ }V}_{2}} }{\frac{n_{1}}{n_{2}} = \frac{3 \times 10^{5}}{2.5 \times 10^{5}} = \frac{6}{5} }$$Possible order is 6 and 5
