  1. Consider 3rd orbit of He+ (Helium), using non-relativistic approach, the speed of electron in this orbit will be [given K = 9 × 109 constant, Z = 2 and h (Plank's Constant) = 6.6 × 10–34 J s ]
    1. 1.46 × 106 m/s ​
    2. 0.73 × 106 m/s
    3. 3.0 × 108 m/s ​
    4. 2.92 × 106 m/s
Correct Option: A

Speed of electron in nth orbit

Vn =
2π KZe2
nh

V = (2.19 × 106 m/s)
Z
n

V = (2.19 × 106)
2
(Z = 2 & n = 3)
3

V = 1.46 × 106  m/s
