Question

The de-Broglie wavelength associated with the electron in the n=4 level is:

Choose an option

Show full solutionCorrect option: B
Correct answer
BFour times the de-Broglie wavelength of the electron in the ground state

Step-by-step explanation

De-Broglie wavelength is given as

λ=hp

p22m=kp=2mk

λ=h2mk

At ground level energy =E0 so

At n=4 level energy =E0n2=E016

at ground level

λ0=h2m E0

At n = 4 level

λ=h2mE016=4h2m E0

λ=4λ0
