Pick an option to check your answer.
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.
