An electron is in an excited state in a hydrogen like atom. It has a total energy of -3.4 eV . The kinetic energy is E and its de Broglie wavelength is λ . Then

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

K.E.= KZ e 2 2r

P.E.= −KZ e 2 r

T.E.=P.E.+K.E.= −KZ e 2 2R

Therefore, TE=−KE= PE 2 =−3.4 eV

So, KE=3.14 eV

Let p = momentum and m = mass of the electron.

∴E= p 2 2m or p= 2mE

de Broglie wavelength,

λ= h p = h 2mE

On substituting the values, we get

λ= 6.63× 10 −34 2×9.1× 10 −31 ×3.4×1.6× 10 −19

=6.6× 10 −10 m
