Question
If the velocity of the electron in Bohr’s first orbit is 2.19 × 106 ms-1, calculate the de Broglie wavelength associated with it.

Solution
According to de Broglie’s equation,
`lambda = "h"/("mv")`
Where,
λ = wavelength associated with the electron
h = Planck’s constant
m = mass of electron
v = velocity of electron
Substituting the values in the expression of λ:
`lambda = (6.626 xx 10^(-34) " Js")/((9.10939 xx 10^(-31)" kg")(2.19xx10^6 " ms"^(-1))`
`= 3.32 xx 10^(-10)" m" = 3.32 xx 10^(-10) " m" xx 100/100`
`= 332xx10^(-12) " m"`
λ = 332 pm
∴ Wavelength associated with the electron = 332 pm

An ionised H-molecule consists of an electron and two protons. The protons are separated by a small distance of the order of angstrom. In the ground state ______.
- the electron would not move in circular orbits.
- the energy would be (2)4 times that of a H-atom.
- the electrons, orbit would go around the protons.
- the molecule will soon decay in a proton and a H-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)`. Estimate the change in the ground state energy of a H-atom if mp were 10-6 times the mass of an electron.
