When the electron orbiting in hydrogen atom goes from one orbit to another orbit (principal quantum number \(=n\) ), the de-Broglie wavelength \((\lambda)\) associated with it is related to n as

  1. A \(\lambda \alpha \frac{1}{\mathrm{n}^2}\)
  2. B \(\lambda \alpha \mathrm{n}^2\)
  3. C \(\lambda \alpha \frac{1}{n}\)
  4. D \(\lambda \alpha \mathrm{n}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\lambda \alpha \mathrm{n}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(2\pi r_n = n\lambda\) \(\lambda = \frac{2\pi r_n}{n}\)
