    Average lifetime of a hydrogen atom excited to n = 2 state is 10-8 s. Find the number of revolutions made by the electron on the average before it jumps to the ground state.
    Ans : Frequency of electron (d) is given by
    `` f=\frac{m{e}^{4}}{4{{\in }_{0}}^{2}{n}^{3}{h}^{3}}``
    `` ``
    Time period is given by
    `` T=\frac{1}{f}``
    `` T=\frac{4{\in }_{0}^{2}{n}^{3}{h}^{3}}{m{e}^{4}}``
    Here,
    h = Planck's constant
    m = Mass of the electron
    e = Charge on the electron
    `` {\epsilon }_{0}``= Permittivity of free space
    `` \therefore T=\frac{4\times \left(8.85\times {10}^{-12}\right)\times {\left(2\right)}^{3}\times {\left(6.63\times {10}^{-34}\right)}^{3}}{\left(9.10\times {10}^{-31}\right)\times {\left(1.6\times {10}^{-16}\right)}^{4}}``
    `` =12247.735\times {10}^{-19}\,\mathrm{\,s\,}``
    Average life time of hydrogen, t = 10`` -``8 s
    Number of revolutions is given by

    `` N=\frac{t}{T}``
    `` \Rightarrow N=\frac{{10}^{-8}}{12247.735\times {10}^{-19}}``
    N = 8.2 `` \times `` 105 revolution
