Consider an electron in a hydrogen atom, revolving in its second excited state (having radius4.65 Å). The de-Broglie wavelength of this electron is:

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

According to Bohr’s atomic model
mvr=nh2π
And the de-Broglie wavelength
λ=hmv
From the above two equations we can write,λ=2πrn
In the 2ndexcited state
λ=2πr3
  λ=23π×4.65  =9.7
