velocity=displacement/time period
if the path is circular,v=2πr/T
r=radius

srikar2004: no
srikar2004: the distance travelled by it is unknown since the position of electron cannot be known
srikar2004: that is the reason why atomic orbitals theory is introduced
srikar2004: hence the velocity cannot be determined
srikar2004: mainly instantaneous velocity cannot be known
jumimibzz: I'm sorry I didn't considered uncertainty principle
jumimibzz: i just mentioned about simple calculations.. the cyclotron
