Q. When an electron in Hydrogen atom revolves in stationary orbit, it

MHT CETMHT CET 2016Atoms

Solution:

As the electron, in the Hydrogen atom, revolves around the nucleus in a stationary orbit, it means the electrons does not jump from one orbit to another and thus it does not radiate light.
Also the electron moves in a circular orbit, although magnitude of its velocity remains the same but it continuously changes its direction. Hence we say that the velocity of electron changes when it revolves in a stationary orbit.
