Matter Waves: de Broglie Wavelength

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

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. λ∝n\lambda \propto n in a Bohr orbit.
  2. Ground state n=1n=1 to third excited state n=4n=4: λ\lambda becomes 44 times.
  3. So the answer is (d) will increase.
