NEET 2025 Physics De-Broglie Wavelength MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Easy-Class 12

De⁻Broglie wavelength of an electron orbiting in the n = 2 state of hydrogen atom is close to (Given Bohr radius = 0.052 nₘ)

A

0.067 nₘ

B

0.67 nₘ

C

1.67 nₘ

D

2.67 nₘ

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The de-Broglie wavelength λ is given by λ = h/p, where p is the momentum. For an electron in the n-th orbit, λ = 2πr/n, where r is the Bohr radius. For n = 2, λ = 2π(0.052 nₘ)/2 ≈ 0.67 nₘ.
