The kinetic energy of an electron in the second
Bohr's orbit of a hydrogen atom is (ao is Bohr's
radius)
h2
4t?m az
(b)
16?ma?
H2
(C) 320?ma
(d)
h2
(d) 64 mma?

Dear Student,

According to Bohr's postulate 

mvr = nh/2π

squaring both side
m2v2r2 = n2h2/ 4π2
1/2 mv2 = n2h2/[8(π2)mr2]
Placing r2 = (16a0)2 for n =2

K.E = (22) h/ [8(π2)m.16a0]
= h2/[32π2ma0]

Answer c) K.E = = h2/[32π2ma0]

Regards
