Question:medium

The wavelength of electron in the third orbit of hydrogen atom is \(6\pi a_0\). The kinetic energy of electron (in J) is equal to \[ \left( \text{Where, } K=\frac{h^2}{\pi^2a_0^2m_e}; \; a_0=\text{radius of first orbit of hydrogen}; \; m_e=\text{mass of electron}, \; h=\text{Planck's constant} \right) \]

Show Hint

For a particle, \[ \boxed{ E_k=\frac{h^2}{2m\lambda^2}. } \] Substitute the given de Broglie wavelength directly and simplify using the given constant.
