Question
Experimentally it is found that $12.8 ~\mathrm{eV}$ energy is required to separate a hydrogen atom into a proton and an electron. So the orbital radius of the electron in a hydrogen atom is $\frac{9}{x} \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}$. The value of the $x$ is __________.
$\left(1 \mathrm{eV}=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{~J}, \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0}}=9 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{Nm}^{2} / \mathrm{C}^{2}\right.$ and electronic charge $\left.=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}\right)$
Correct Answer
