Solution
`r = 0.53n^2/z xx 10^-10`m
for first excited state n = 2
`r = 0.53 2^2/1 xx 10^-10`
`r = 2.12 xx 10^-10`m
ν = `ν_0 xx Z/n` m/s
`ν = 2.188 xx 10^6 xx Z/n` m/s
For first excited state, n = 2, Z = 1 for hydrogen atom
∴ ν = `2.188 xx 10^6 xx 1/2` m/s
⇒ `ν = 1.094 xx 10^6` m/s
∵ Orbital period = `(2pir)/ν = (2 xx 3.14 xx 2.12 xx 10^-10)/(1.094 xx 10^6)`
⇒ Orbital period = `1.22 xx 10^-15`sec.

Using Bohr’s postulates for hydrogen atom, show that the total energy (E) of the electron in the stationary states tan be expressed as the sum of kinetic energy (K) and potential energy (U), where K = −2U. Hence deduce the expression for the total energy in the nth energy level of hydrogen atom.
The inverse square law in electrostatics is |F| = `e^2/((4πε_0).r^2)` for the force between an electron and a proton. The `(1/r)` dependence of |F| can be understood in quantum theory as being due to the fact that the ‘particle’ of light (photon) is massless. If photons had a mass mp, force would be modified to |F| = `e^2/((4πε_0)r^2) [1/r^2 + λ/r]`, exp (– λr) where λ = mpc/h and h = `h/(2π)`.
