Bohr Model: Orbits, Speed & Angular Momentum

Consider an electron in the nnth orbit of a hydrogen atom in the Bohr model. The circumference of the orbit can be expressed in terms of de Broglie wavelength λ\lambda of that electron as

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. mvr=nh2πmvr = \frac{nh}{2\pi} and λ=hmv\lambda = \frac{h}{mv} give 2πr=nhmv=nλ2\pi r = \frac{nh}{mv} = n\lambda.
  2. So the answer is (d) nλn\lambda.
