Consider an electron in a hydrogen atom, revolving in its second excited state (having radius 4.65 Å ). The de-Broglie wavelength of this electron is:
Options
- A12.9 Å
- B6.6 Å
- C9.7 Å
- D3.5 Å
Correct answer
C. 9.7 Å
Step-by-step solution
According to Bohr’s atomic model m v r = n h 2 π And the de-Broglie wavelength λ = h m v From the above two equations we can write, λ = 2 π r n In the 2 nd excited state λ = 2 π r 3 ∴ λ = 2 3 π × 4.65 Å = 9.7 Å
