NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Hard-Class 12
A diagram shows an electron in a circular orbit around a nucleus, with a wave pattern superimposed on the orbit. If the wave pattern corresponds to n = 3, what is the correct relationship between the orbit circumference and the de Broglie wavelength?
A
The orbit circumference is three times the de Broglie wavelength.
B
The orbit circumference is equal to the de Broglie wavelength.
C
The orbit circumference is twice the de Broglie wavelength.
D
The orbit circumference is four times the de Broglie wavelength.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
According to the Bohr model, the quantum condition for electrons in orbit is 2πr = nλ, where n=3 in this case, so the circumference is three times the de Broglie wavelength.
