An electron is in the nth Bohr orbit of the hydrogen atom. (a) Show that the period of the electron is T = n3t0 and determine the numerical value of t0. (b) On average, an electron remains in the n = 2 orbit for approximately 10 ms before it jumps down to the n = 1 (ground-state) orbit. How many revolutions does the electron make in the excited state? (c) Define the period of one revolution as an electron year, analogous to an Earth year being the period of the Earth’s motion around the Sun. Explain whether we should think of the electron in the n = 2 orbit as “living for a long time.”

In the Bohr model of the atom, we assume that nanoscale particles behave according to classical physics (This assumption is not entirely justified, but does work surprisingly well). In this model, an electron (mass m = 9.11 x 10-³1 kg) orbits a nucleus at a distance that depends on the principal quantum number of the electron (1s orbital, 2s orbital, etc) and the composition of the nucleus. If the electron orbits at a distance of 9.90 x 10-¹1 m due to a Coulomb force of 2.35 x 10-8 N, how many revolutions per second does the electron make? 2.569
