Question:
The de Broglie wavelength of an electron in the first orbit of hydrogen atom is:
The de Broglie wavelength of an electron in the first orbit of hydrogen atom is:
Show Hint
For an electron in the first orbit of a hydrogen atom, the de Broglie wavelength is equal to the circumference of the orbit due to the standing wave condition.
Updated On: May 14, 2025
- twice the circumference of the orbit
- equal to the circumference of the orbit
- half of the circumference of the orbit
- thrice the circumference of the orbit
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
For an electron in the first orbit of hydrogen, the de Broglie wavelength must be equal to the circumference of the orbit due to the standing wave condition.
Thus, the de Broglie wavelength is equal to the circumference of the orbit.
Thus, the de Broglie wavelength is equal to the circumference of the orbit.
