NEET Chemistry (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 11

Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of an electron moving with a velocity of 2.19 × 10^6 ms–1 in Bohr’s first orbit.

A

32 × 10^-10 m

B

67 × 10^-9 m

C

5.56 × 10^-11 m

D

42 × 10^-10 m

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Using the de Broglie wavelength formula, λ = h/mv, where h is Planck’s constant (6.626 × 10^-34 Js), m is the mass of an electron (9.109 × 10^-31 kg), and v is the velocity (2.19 × 10^6 ms–1), we calculate λ to be approximately 3.32 × 10^-10 m.
