If a_0 is denoted as the Bohr radius of hydrogen atom, then what is the de-Broglie wavelength ( lambda ) of the electron present in the second orbit of hydrogen atom? [n: any integer]

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula 2pi r_n = nlambda r_n = a_0 cdot n^2 ### Core Logic According to Bohr's quantization postulate condition coupled with de-Broglie's hypothesis : 2pi r_n = nlambda For the second orbit (n = 2), the radius is: r_2 = a_0 cdot (2)^2 = 4a_0 Substituting into the wave perimeter formula : 2pi (4a_0) = nlambda lambda = frac8pi a_0n This strictly matches option (2). ### Pattern Recognition The circumference of an electron's orbit must encompass an exact integral count of complete standing de-Broglie wave wavelengths. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Structure of Atom
