In a hydrogen atom, an electron is moving in the nth permitted orbit of radius $r_n$. The wavelength associated with this electron is: |
$2πr_n$ $\frac{n}{2πr_n}$ $\frac{2πr_n}{n}$ $\frac{r_n}{n}$ |
$\frac{2πr_n}{n}$ |
The correct answer is Option (3) → $\frac{2πr_n}{n}$ According to De-Broglie's hypothesis, the wavelength (λ) associated with particle - $λ=\frac{h}{P}$ [P = momentum] and, Bohr model state that the, $L=nh$ [n = quantum number] ∴ Momentum, $P=\frac{L}{r}=\frac{nh}{r}$ $∴λ=\frac{h}{\frac{nh}{r}}=\frac{2\pi r}{n}$ Now, $r_n=n^2.r_1$ $∴λ_n=\frac{2πr_n}{n}$ |
