The de-Broglie wavelength of the electron in the first Bohr orbit of the hydrogen atom is

  1. A equal to the diameter of the first orbit
  2. B equal to the circumference of the first orbit
  3. C equal to the half circumference of the first orbit
  4. D independent of the size of the first orbit
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) equal to the circumference of the first orbit

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to de-Broglie hypothesis, revolving electron in circular orbit shows wave nature. Hence, a circular orbit can be taken to be a stationary energy state only if it contains an integral number of de-Broglie wavelength, i.e. we must have, \(2 \pi r_n=n \lambda\) where,…
