The average life time of an electron in an excited state of hydrogen is 10-10 sec. How many revolutions does this electron make in the n = 2 state before dropping back to the ground state? I have worked this exercise using classic physics but my answer is...

I'm not sure, maybe is a significant figure issue, but I only have one more attempt, so I would like to be sure. I have just found one example where a different result is proposed for a average lifetime of 1.0 E-8 (v = 0.6 x 10^6 m/sec; 4.73 x 10^6 revolu...
