JEE Main2012ChemistryStructure of AtomActual
If the radius of first orbit of H atom is a₀ , the deBroglie wavelength of an electron in the third orbit is
Options
- A4 a₀
- B8 a₀
- C6 a₀
- D2 a₀
Correct answer
C. 6 a₀
Step-by-step solution
r_n=a₀ n^2 aligned & r=a₀ (3)^2=9 a₀ & m v r= n h 2 & m v= n h 2 r = 3 h 2 9 a₀ = h 6 a₀ & = h m v = h h 6 a₀=6 a₀ aligned
