The de-Broglie wavelength associated with the electron in the \(n\, = 4\) level is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{4}\,^{th}\) of the de- Broglie wavelength of the electron in the ground state
  2. B four times the de-Broglie wavelength of the electron in the ground state
  3. C two times the de-Broglie wavelength of the electron in the ground state
  4. D half of the de-Broglie wavelength of the electron in the ground state
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) four times the de-Broglie wavelength of the electron in the ground state

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

De-Broglie wavelength of electron \(\lambda=\frac{h}{m V}\) As we know, \(V \propto \frac{1}{n}\) \(\mathrm{So}, \lambda \propto n\) \(\lambda_{4}=4 \lambda_{1}\) \(\lambda_{1}\) is the de-Broglie wavelength of the electron in the ground state.
