An electron is moving in Bohr's fourth orbit. Its de-Broglie wave length is . What is the circumference of the fourth orbit?
Options
- A2
- B2
- C4
- D4
Correct answer
C. 4
Step-by-step solution
According to Bohr's concept, an electron always move in the orbit with angular momentum (mvr) equal to n h / 2 . m v r= n h 2 or r= n 2 ( h m v ) Or r= n 2 (from de-Broglie equation, = h m v ) For fourth orbit (n=4) , gathered r= 2 Circumference =2 r=2 2 =4 gathered
