JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 2. structure of atom

The de Broglie wavelength of an electron in the \(4^{th}\) Bohr orbit is

  1. A \(8 \pi a_{0}\)
  2. B \(2 \pi a_{0}\)
  3. C \(4 \pi a_{0}\)
  4. D \(6 \pi a_{0}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(8 \pi a_{0}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(2 \pi r=n \lambda\) for \(\quad \mathrm{n}=1, \mathrm{r}=\mathrm{a}_{0}\) \(\mathrm{n}=4, \mathrm{r}=16 \mathrm{a}_{0}\) So, \(\quad 2 \pi \times 16 \mathrm{a}_{0}=4 \times \lambda\) \(\lambda=8 \pi \mathrm{a}_{0}\)
