The de-Broglie wavelength of an electron in the ground state of the hydrogen atom is

  1. A \(\pi r^{2}\)
  2. B \(2 \pi r\)
  3. C \(\pi r\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{2 \pi r}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2 \pi r\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Bohr's theory
\(
\begin{aligned}
m v r &=\frac{n h}{2 \pi} \\
2 \pi r &=\frac{n h}{m v} \\
2 \pi r &=n \lambda
\end{aligned}
\)
For \(\quad n=1, \lambda=2 \pi r\)
