The minimum radial distance between first orbit and second orbit in He ⁺ ion, if the de-Broglie wavelength of an electron in first orbit is , will be
Options
- A2
- B2
- C2
- D4
Correct answer
C. 2
Step-by-step solution
By de-Broglie hypothesis, 2 r_n=n For first orbit, n=1, r=r₁ , then 2 r₁= or r₁= 2 For second orbit, n=2, r=r₂ , then aligned 2 r₂ & =2 or r₂ & = 2 2 aligned Minimum radial distance between first orbit and second orbit is aligned & r₂-r₁= 2 2 - 2 & r₂-r₁= 2 aligned
