An electron, in a hydrogen-like atom, is in an excited state. It has a total energy of -3.4 eV . The kinetic energy and the de-Broglie wavelength of the electron are respectively
Options
- A+3.4 eV , 0.66 10⁻⁹ ~m
- B-3.4 eV , 1.99 10⁻⁹ ~m
- C2.8 eV , 2.38 10⁻¹⁰ ~m
- D1.1 eV , 1.28 10⁻⁹ ~m
Correct answer
A. +3.4 eV , 0.66 10⁻⁹ ~m
Step-by-step solution
E_ n =-3.4 eV The kinetic energyis equal to the magnitude of total energy in this case. K.E =+3.4 eV The de Broglie wavelength of electron aligned = h 2 m K &= 6.64 10⁻³⁴ 2 9.1 10⁻³¹ 3.4 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ eV &=0.66 10⁻⁹ ~m aligned
