The de-Broglie wavelength λ n of the electron in the n t h orbit of hydrogen atom is
Options
- AInversely proportional to n
- BProportional to n 2
- CProportional to n
- DInversely proportional to n 2
Correct answer
A. Inversely proportional to n
Step-by-step solution
∵ de-Broglie wavelength λ n of the electron in the n t h orbit of hydrogen atom λ = 2 π n h × h r ⇒ λ n = 2 π r n A s , λ = h p = h m v o r m v r = h r λ = n h 2 π , λ = 2 π n h × h r λ n ∝ n Hence, λ n is directly proportional to n .
