Question

The Larmor formula gives the total power radiated by an accelerating charged particle: 3 4πε。c3 g is the charge and a is the acceleration of the particle In the Bohr model of a hydrogen atom, a electron orbits a proton at a distance of R 5.3 10 Since an accelerating charge generates electromagnetic radiation, the Bohr atom is not stable. The electron should radiate its energy away and spiral into the nucls (a) What is the electron's initial rate of energy loss? (b) If the rate of energy loss were constant, how long would it take an electron to radiate away all of its kinetic energy? (This would be the approximate lifetime of a hydrogen atom)
