Bohr Model: Orbits, Speed & Angular Momentum

When an electron orbiting in hydrogen atom in its ground state jumps to higher excited state, the de- Broglie wavelength associated with it

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. λ=hmv\lambda = \frac{h}{mv} and v∝1nv \propto \frac{1}{n}, so λ∝n\lambda \propto n.
  2. Moving to a higher nn lowers the speed, so λ\lambda grows.
  3. So the answer is (d) will increase.
